Today we celebrated my amazing daughter's 4th birthday! About 11 months ago she started asking for a Rapunzel birthday party for her 4th birthday, so today we made that simple wish a reality. I asked her a month ago what cake she wanted me to make and she simply shouted "purple!" Well, I know that red velvet cake is one of her favorites, which I truly believe is because she loves the cream cheese frosting on top, so I hunted down purple food dye and made it happen. A week or two ago I realized I could make a frying pan shaped cake so I could write a birthday message. Yesterday I went on a dessert making rampage and created all sorts of treats, purple velvet mini cupcakes, purple velvet cake, cake pops, purple chocolate covered marshmallows, and purple chocolate dipped pretzels. Today I dyed frosting, and myself, 3 different colors, and was pretty proud of my mess! The smile on that sweet face made all of it worth it.
Here's to 4 years of sweet joy! I love you my little kitten Ceci!
