Of course when you are extremely busy, the only thing to do is to add more to your plate. So with Evalyn’s party only a day away, cleaning looming, and a whole lotta school work to be completed – I decided to make my Saturday cake, a Berry Crunch Cake. This cake was a lot of fun to make and is very colorful. It consists of flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, raspberries, blueberries, and ginger snaps. The cake was filled with the berries and then the rest of the batter was mixed with crushed ginger snaps to create a cookie crumb topping. Ted has been so gracious today to do a lot of the cleaning and I have been on school and baby duty. Which I think I got the better of the deal; because, who wouldn’t want to spend more time with my beautiful daughter, who as she will tell you herself, is TWO! (Well she is almost correct, she will be two on Monday). She also knows that she is going to have a party and that means cake and that she blow out candles, which she has no problem with as we found out at her great-grandfather and Aunt’s recent birthdays. However, I think I am driving him crazy, because if I were the one cleaning I would pay much more attention to other details, but since he is doing it and I am watching Evie – I need to make sure to keep my mouth quiet and be happy that is he helping!
Tomorrow may not mean anything to my daughter, and she would much rather have her daddy and mommy to play with today as oppose to cleaning for her party tomorrow- but to us it means another year with a truly smart and beautiful little girl. To me, it means that she is no longer my baby- which brings tears to my eyes as I type this, but that she is my little girl. Who incidentally is sitting next to me as I am typing this and having a full conversation with her Ariel doll.
This time next year my one cake a week challenge will be over – but I cannot imagine what will change in my little girls life in the year that is to come. I do know one thing. Even if the cake challenge is over – there will be cake!
