Birthday Take 2

We had a little party for Addison's 1st Birthday today. It started off a cold rainy day, but by the time the afternoon gathering began the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining. We cooked out and kept it simple, which was definitely the way to go. I think every one had a wonderful time... especially Addison.



She tried some new things today - hamburger. She really seemed to like it. Actually, she had a lot to eat. This is also a good before picture for what comes later... another newbie - chocolate cake.



I couldn't decide what kind of cake, but mid-week decided a May flower was only appropriate for the occasion. I'm not good at decorating cakes, but... I can arrange cupcakes to get the general point across. I love the flavor of the Wilton Whipped Frosting I use, but it doesn't hold it's shape well. I think her "cake" still turned out pretty cute. The bug is a little gummy bug that I picked up at after Easter sales. It was a fun addition.

Addison didn't even wait for us to finish singing "Happy Birthday" before she dug in to the frosting. I think it was a huge hit. She actually wasn't very fond of the chocolate cupcake, but the yellow cake a whipped icing were super.






Here are some pictures of just how yummy it was...












Now that's a fun day!
