I'm pretty sure I must have said . . .

Not.to.blink!

See, we blinked...then she went and turned

Now, I'm TWO!

(-:

"Um, Suzy...do you think you could move away from my cake just a bit?"

(Little scary that birthday doll.)

Ah one and ah...

two!

She got 'em both out. What a girl!

Oh my goodness, what a big girl!

And, if you'd like to know, that cake was titled, "The Best Chocolate Cake" and though it was mighty rich, I would concur it made a very nice, moist chocolate cake. It was my "artistic" (said very tongue in cheek) decision to tint the icing purple, thought it would add a bit of girlishness, think it just looks a little odd, then I also chose to rim the cake with the marshmallows (because I really wanted to do this with them but ran out of time...some day), and I think the marshmallows look kind of like teeth for a wide open mouth but I have to say, the birthday girl loved picking them off the cake and eating them, so, it was a win I guess.
