This poster is the doings of my wonderful husband, who stayed up until 1:30am the night before my birthday, organizing the house, untangling my necklace, making this poster, baking my cake, and setting the table for breakfast. Andrew doesn't even like candy, so this was TWOOO WUVVV for him to do this for me, the candy-eating gal!
My sweet mother-in-law, Roseann, made this apron for my birthday! One side has peppers, the other side is corn. Clark said (speaking of the peppers side)...."that looks like vegetables in outer space!" I love it Mom, thanks!
This is the cake that my sweetheart spent SO many hours on, including an extra hour yesterday morning making the frosting. HIs work schedule has been very busy lately, and I appreciated the sacrifice on my behalf. The red things on top are frozen maraschino cherries. I have always loved them, and, as a kid, could eat a whole bottle of maraschino cherries in one sitting. But, last night, as I popped one in my mouth, I realized - I'm over them!
Can you see all the layers on that cake? 4 layers of cake, with 3 layers of mint chocolate ice cream in between. It tasted so good, but now we still have SO much left over - cake anyone?

I'm glad you finally came to your senses about those cherries! Yuck! BUT, they do make beautiful decor for cakes, I have to admit. That cake is amazing, I'm so impressed! SO glad you had a good birthday. If we ever get to visit you in DC, I want to go to that building blocks place! Awesome!
That cake looks YUMMY! I wish I could take some of the leftovers. Sounds like Andrew is still the charmer we all love. Happy Birthday, Vanessa!
So cute, Andrew! Looks like you had a GREAT birthday, Vanessa. Wish I were closer to share the cake and DEVOUR the candy bar poster. (Just thinking of our late-night runs to the store for penny candy in frozen Rexburg!)
Vanessa,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I got my card, it's something I look forward to every year. Thanks. I love you!
