A celebration indeed

It was a big week in our house! Daddy turned the big 33 :) We had so much fun celebrating. We changed the "charm" on the Happy Everything plate to the birthday cake. It sat on the counter collecting birthday cards all week!




Daddy requested Grandmommy's caramel cake, so I gave it my best shot. You even helped!


One of the three layers of the cake. It's a basic 1, 2, 3, 4 cake. 


Making the icing. Wow, now I know what a labor of love this icing is.


I was timid, but have watched grandmommy make this cake numerous times. With her notes and patience in talking me through the process, this was the final result. Pretty great if I do say so myself!


On Wednesday night, we set everything out and had a nice celebration. Daddy loved his present from us!







HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!

  1. Oh what dear memories the story of the caramel cake brings up! I remember when your mom made one for me and I truly felt like I was a part of the family that has always been so in my heart. :) What a labor of love and what a great family tradition you are sharing with Hannah Kathryn!
