On Saturday, we 'celebrated' our little guy's 6 month birthday. By celebrated, I mean that I used the excuse to bake a cake. :)
The most exciting part about our day was that not only did we get to celebrate Oliver's six month birthday, but we also got to celebrate with Jordan's sister at the birth of Oliver's newest little cousin! Oliver was quite entranced by the tiny moving little guy. These cupcakes were a little part of our way to celebrate with them...
The cake itself was very small... I baked it in a 16 oz ramekin and cut it in half, frosted the center and added crushed berries.
The middle layer of the cake....
I am not a cake designer... at all... but it turned out ok for the tools I have. :)
And it tasted pretty good too. :)
It is so amazing that six months have already gone by. Oliver has changed so much! He is getting to be a big boy so quickly. He is learning to crawl, almost sitting up, blah-blah and mah-mah ing all the time... I just can't believe how fast it is going.
From This... one week....
To This.... almost six months....
And so I leave you with this adorable picture. Happy Tuesday!
A day to celebrate for sure!
ReplyDeleteGetting around to read and comment on a few blogs and enjoyed your posts. Your sweetness comes out in lovely ways...I think your dessert creations are wonderful-I like the simplicity-just delightful! Your little guy is as adorable as ever.
