Today was notable for being Miss G's sixth birthday. I made her cake (with Sarah's assistance of course) with the instructions it was to be pink. Really Pink. The result is a from-scratch yellow cake, with pink butter cream frosting, fresh strawberry filling, and flowers made from edible candy clay. I don't recommend eating any of the candy clay. It was pretty gross. The flowers are decorated with Valentine's themed sprinkles. And to keep the princess theme alive, it's topped with Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Miss G seemed far more entranced with the cheap LED wand from the dollar store than she was with the cake. I can't blame her, the wand is pretty sweet. Pictured is the cake, the cake with Miss G and myself, then finally, the cake with Sarah and the birthday girl.

Update on the cake- I made it from scratch from "America's Test Kitchen" recipe book. Apparently a mix would have been better. Fortunately six-year-olds are pretty easy to please. Come on, they'll eat twinkies and those only barely resemble actual dessert.
