Mother's Day sweeties

They have grown so much this past year. These were just quick snaps before we left for town. It was overcast and started raining just after I took the pics.

A Tasty Rainbow

My girl turned 4 back in February but we finally had time to have her birthday party today. She did have a mini one a few weeks ago but not with friends.

I took 2 regular french vanilla cake mixes and mixed them according to directions. We then divided the mixture into 6 bowls and mixed colors to build a rainbow.

Here we used a pyrex casserole dish to make the top part of the hat. We started with the red at the bottom.

We layered the rectangular pan like a rainbow would look.

The rectangular cake out of the oven and ready for carving. Now I know why I usually don't cheat and use a box cake. They may taste good but are soooooo crumbly and don't stay held together when you try to cut them into a shape.
An attempt at making Strawberry Shortcake's hat. My girl loved it and that is what counts.
Destruction of a rainbow.

A close up or two

Just a way to pass the dreary and stormy day we are having. These were just taken in the living room chair in front a big window.
