i wish i could have invited more people, but we don’t have the biggest house (or the biggest budget), and i was really nervous about what would happen if the weather turned ugly. fortunately, it was beautiful, and it was still a tight squeeze for all who made it. (a good excuse for people not […]
birthday
rainbow-ific party for annababy
the whole thing started when i made a rainbow-y type layer cake a little while back. i decided then and there that for anna’s first birthday, a 6 layer rainbow cake would be in order. normally, we haven’t been too extravagant with our birthday celebrations, but something about a may birthday and a new grill […]
annababy birthday: the cake.
for anna’s birthday, i went with a big rainbow cake, a smaller (still big) smash rainbow cake and some rainbow cupcakes to add some color. 🙂 first up, the rainbow cake… after layering, before frosting: the crumb coat: fully frosted: the cupcakes (minus the pink ones): the full display: and finally, the rainbow cake, cut […]
happy birthday annababy!!
today is anna’s first birthday. in fact, one year ago RIGHT NOW, i had a one hour and seven minute old baby. i didn’t know yet if she was going to be another isaacbaby (the kind of baby that makes you strongly consider stopping making babies). or if she was going to be a sweet […]

happy birthday isaac, volume 3: the robot cake
we had the party last night. here’s the cake shots. checking it out, deciding if he’s allowed to “eat this?”… trying (unsuccessfully) to blow out the candles. he wasn’t really blowing. just making the face: eating w/ fork: and w/o fork: overall, the cake festivities went quite smoothly. he likes when […]
happy birthday isaac, volume 2: a friendly lunch
after bounce u, we headed back to my house, where emerson, alden, and livy and their respective parents joined us for a little lunch and cupcakes. it was very low key and fun. here’s isaac with his cupcake: cora, devouring hers: alden and livy taking in the action from the floor (in the […]
happy birthday isaac, volume 1: bounce U
for part 1 of isaac’s birthday celebration, we went to bounce u this morning with cora and cora’s mom, gretchen. isaac ran and jumped and went down the slide to his little heart’s content. and he got extremely flushed and sweaty. cora wasn’t a huge huge fan, but she liked watching the other kids and […]
