If You Like to Talk to Tomatoes


Oh how can she possibly be three?!  But three she is and this year, it's all about cucumbers and tomatoes.  Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber to be exact.  Veggie Tales all the time.  You know it's bad when you walk around work singing the Veggie Tales theme song, and your dad walks around singing  "Oh where is my hairbrush?"

I did learn a bit of a lesson last year after the  SpongeBob cupcakes-there was not a chance I was making individual cupcakes this year.  Even if you are my favorite three year old in the entire world.   As it turns out, as long as the characters are recognizable, three year olds could care less about whether they are cupcakes or big cakes.

The marshmallow fondant recipe was the same as last year's(recipe in the above link)--just toxic green and red this time around. 


This year I made my brother help.  What's the point in having so much artistic talent in the family if you can't put them to work right?  I think she liked watching daddy decorate her birthday cake--and she definitely liked the final product...




Happy, happy birthday Peanut!!!

She sure is growing up! The cakes are wonderful. (Cupcakes are a pain even if you aren't doing fancy fondant.) I love the last picture of her catching the dandelion fluff.
