Alex with blonde hair about 6 months ago (her hair is now brown again)HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL AGGIE
Well today is Alex's 20th Birthday. I can't believe that it has been 20 years since she was born.
OMG it just seems like yesterday that I was very very very young and having her - gosh time flies.
Alex was the best baby and kid. So good - virtually perfect really. Teenage years were HELL ON EARTH for me & Roger. But geez now she is great - well most of the time LOL.
We are going to Blu Water Grill for dinner tonight for her birthday. I have made her a cake - what do you think? I am quite proud of my effort, I hope she likes it :-)
This was actually really really easy to make. It is my lush choclolate cake recipe (look under recipes) & frosting. I made the cake last night (and had too much mix so made some cupcakes too).
Today, I made the frosting (the whole batch) and spread it on the cake (which is turned upside down but it didn't go flat - oh well). Then I put the rest in a piping bag from coles and piped out little round mounds (easy - I practiced on a cupcake first). I made the icing hearts from ready rolled white icing (Coles again) and some little baby cutters - oh and I coloured the icing with food colouring - messy but did the job, cut them out and left them to dry. I then sprinkled some sprinkles on there & will get some of that white writing icing and pipe/write her name on it. I'm pretty stoked with how it came out actually (better than I thought).
How much do you reckon it would cost to buy that from the shop??? I reckon it cost me about $10 all up - if that much LOL (not including my time but thats ok).
Will post pics of the dinner later :-)
