#SentimentalSunday




sen·ti·men·tal
/ˌsen(t)əˈmen(t)l/
adjective
of or prompted by feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia.


It's my Mama's book originally and starting with my one year old birthday party I grew up with cakes from this book. Not every year but enough that they are weaved into my memories.  

For my first birthday party my Mama made not one but TWO of the cut out cakes to celebrate. 


It's laying flat but if you look closely you can see it's an angel cake. 

And once I got my hands on it I started making cakes from it for my own children and was inspired to try a few other cakes not featured in the book but certainly inspired by it. I also made a cake or two from the book for different baby showers. 

My oldest daughter had a butterfly/spring themed 3rd birthday party.
This cake from the book was perfect! 

My youngest daughter is obsessed with kitties.
For her 4th birthday I made her a kitty cake from the book.

When my oldest turned 5 years old we did a royal themed party.
This cake didn't come from the book but I was inspired by the book to try it. 


My youngest is all about the music.
For one of her birthdays I made the guitar cut out cake. 


My oldest was into art and so for one of her parties we did an art themed party.
It goes without saying the cake had to be an artists' palette!

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
