cakes for fam...

sooo... i mentioned how strongly my fam feels about birthdays...

my sister, sunshine, is one of the most vibrant people i've ever known (her nickname is quite fitting, no??), so there was really no question what her cake would look like!! last year we had a weekend long extravaganza to celebrate (as we do...)!








what i love most about fam cakes is that i basically have carte blanche over what to make. i like to give a choice of flavour and my maany (her given name is maanua) gave me a list of flavours she wanted: banana (sponge, not like the bread - i enjoy it when people are as specific as i am about deets on their cake!), chocolate and peanut butter.... so the sun itself and a few of the rays are banana cake with peanut butter buttercream or chocolate buttercream and the other few rays are chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream.

(she also fancies herself the queen of the universe, and her bday is the one day i humor her, hence the qotu candles...)

the next birthday that came up was my lp, becky's. it was another weekend long bonanza for hers (i hounded her for months about how big a deal it should be and she finally gave up and let me plan it!). so becky knew she wanted carrot cake.....and that's all she asked for. this is what she got...





probably one of the BEST reactions ever!!!
