So, it was my sister's sixteenth birthday yesterday. We went out to dinner as a family on Saturday, then we're having a party for her friends on Friday night and my dad's family is coming on Saturday/Sunday. So, mom was like, don't expect too much of a blow-out on the actual day of your birthday, cause a lot is going on. This saddened Mel a bit, mostly because she'd been asking for a castle cake, which my mom and a friend of hers had made for Mel's, like, fourth birthday. It was damn impressive, if my eight-year-old memory serves me correctly. Anyway, Mom said to forget it, cause everything else was going on.

And then when she was at school that day, Mom and I made it.

THE CASTLE CAKE!

Me, proud of my mom's and my handiwork.



Melanie, stunned.

Yes, I am proud of myself! I was crazy domestic that day, baking and decorating and then making biscuits from scratch for dinner- it was a nice day.

That is definitely the best birthday cake I have ever seen. My heart is a little bit happier for having seen it. I love, love, love cakes (looking at them far more than eating them).

Thank you! I'm glad your heart is happier.

However;

You do not love to eat cakes as well? Cryssa. What is wrong with you?

Thanks! I'm so glad it came out as good as it did- for awhile Mom and i were kind of laughing nervously at everything we did.

My mother had the magazine article from, oh, twelve years ago, so we had a guide. She's a lot more creative than I by far, but if I can do it, so can you!

Oh, that's so awesome! I'd love to try something like that (although I can't even make jello correctly, as I learned over mother's day weekend. :P)

And great haircut, btw. :D

Thank you! My mom did most of the hard things with the cake, I just did a lot of decorating.
