I have fond memories from when I was their age, picking out the birthday cake I wanted my mom to bake from a recipe book - and wanting it to look just like the photo! We have a kids recipe book, gifted by mom a few years ago, that has been a bedtime “story” favourite over the years (I prefer to read actual stories, not recipes, but hey), and the kids have been wanting to bake this cake for awhile now, so we made it happen! A combined effort, some did more eating than baking, but it was a special way to celebrate my sweet and silly 7 year old! Birthday portraits in the yard that get sillier by the year 🤪
