Third

Keturah's first surprise on her birthday:


The she opened some cards after her bowl of sugar.


After that we went to Walmart to pick out a toy as instructed in GR and GL's card.
She came back with Strawberry Shortcake. Her next present was having the whole family home with her. Dad got done at 10am, Bekah was picked up from school early, and Alex was already with us thanks to scarlet fever.


After lunch, she took a nap with her new Rapunzel pillow.


While she was snoozing, I worked on the cake. 
Stage 1
The flower has butter cream frosting


Stage 2


Stage 3
I decided to make fondant because the store bought stuff is gross in my opinion. It was pretty fun and a lot like playing with play doh. In fact, I used a play doh "tool" for the one of the cutouts, but everything else I free-handed.


A dinner of homemade pizza, asparagus, and soda.


And finally, cake time. Unless the frosting is chocolate, we have rule that the cake must be chocolate.



And the last of the presents.






After all this, we watched  Puss in Boots. I'd say she had a pretty good day.

I thought I'd missed something at first when I saw "stage 1" I figured you must have accidentally submitted a final product picture, because the flower was fancier than anything my kids have ever had. But then the butterfly... forgive my pun, but it really was over the top. It's a beautiful cake and it looks like a perfect birthday.
