Tom's Birthday

This post is a little late in coming. We have been slightly busy. Of course we still had time to celebrate Tom's birthday!

This year the kids and I conspired to make a gigantic cake for Tom. We were going to make it in the shape of Tom but the kids squashed that idea. They came up with a more colorful idea.

Katie and Kellen each took turns icing the cake. Oh, and bytheway, this cake took 8 cake mixes, almost 24 eggs, a lot of vegetable oil, and a whole day to bake!

Kellen's turn. Don't you love the no shirt apron look.

Here is the finished product. This cake had to be made in three stages-bottom, middle, top. It weighed about 40 pounds and took a lot of icing. It was so yummy though! It fed about 17 people that night at Tom's party and then the young men at church that week too. It was the cake that just kept on giving.

Happy Birthday Tom! We love you!!
