Birthday Cake



The Brown Family creativity continued it’s tradition this weekend as Damon and I prepared for Sullivan’s 2nd birthday party. Usually Grandmommy Judy is our resident family cake maker but this year Damon stepped in and tried his hand at the family business. The theme for the party this year is Sullivan’s FAVORITE THINGS….a theme that was decided upon after having a difficult time pin pointing only ONE idea to celebrate his special day. So it was set to be a day filled with hats, and bugs, and drums, and balloons, and balls, and cookies, and cake and YES….A,B,C’s. Damon’s initial idea for the party was going to be all about A,B,C’s as Sullivan is all about letters these days. So Damon thought it would be fun to make a big A,B,C block for his cake. And that is exactly what he did as you can see with these pictures. I of course was set and ready to buy a regular store bought cake this year as I rarely have the motivation to jump in a do any sort of new cooking thing but Damon said “you only have one second birthday” so again Damon rides in and makes sure another Sullivan birthday is a one of a kind experience. Damon made a personalized small block cake for Sullivan and a larger scale version for the rest of the guests. The block had a big blue S on the top with A,B,C, and the letter O on the sides. (Sullivan points out the letter O’s all the time on signs and in books). I think Damon did a great job for a first time themed cake.
