October 1, 2009..It's party time...It is amazing how, once you have a child, your priorities tend to shift from yourself or your spouse and start gravitating to this little creature.
Not that they are selfish beings, but as parents, you couldn't help but have the desire to provide the best for your kid. And we are no exceptions.
With every year of growth, it marks a special milestone in Abby's life. Last year, when she turned 1, she started to walk independently, walking around to play with guests, on her own. This year, being 2, she is becoming almost like a little person. Able to talk very well to express all her likes and dislikes, showing an interest in interactive play instead of parallel play. And she chatters non stop...and loves! the playground..the swing and the slide..
So, this year's theme, shall be sliding into the Fun-Tastic year of 2!!.. I decided to take on a 2 tier cake this year for Abby..depicting her in her Playground Land, with Elephant and Giraffes being her fav animals.. This cake is so much fun to create, from the animals to picking the colors of the tiers. I really loved it! and I learned that animals are definitely easier to make versus human figurine! ;) The cake is chocolate cake with raspberry and chocolate ganache, and yellow cake with chocolate buttercream.
Someone remarked a funny comment that I couldn't help but burst into laughing! He came into the room, and looked at the cake, and said "ohh..look at dora!" i guess, it must be my handiwork that is not realistic enough, or maybe he is not well versed with Dora. Either way, I was just having a fun time that day...Since it was chilly outside, it calls to be an indoor event at our house, and the kids managed to play bubbles in the our deck.
Happy 2nd birthday, Abby!! Mommy and Daddy loves you HEAPS! Don't grow up too fast ok! you will always be our baby!
