The Dog Cake

Happy 4th Birthday Adler! Adler has a favorite stuffed dog named Oscar, so this is where the doggy party theme came from. It was so much fun planning and making his cake!

It's been a tradition since I was a kid that mom made all my birthday cakes and so I've continued that on with my kids. Just recently I've learned to make fondant thanks to my friend Lisa. I now call her my "supervisor" and she probably wishes she hadn't taught me as it is a very time consuming and I can't seem to pull any of it off without her!! She's actually the one who sent me a picture of a similar dog cake and told me "if I was a good mom, I'd make that one!" I really didn't even consider it until I searched and searched the internet for something easier and still cute. To my dissatisfaction, I found nothing comparable and decided to go for it. She actually carved his body because I was too sceeerrrddd!

The kids made dog tags, crawled around on the floor searching for all the hidden dog bones, ate out of dog bowls and went to dig all the balls out of the sandbox outside....

Notice his new shirt that uncle Joshie & aunt Sonia gave him from San Fran. He's hasn't taken it off yet except for a bath. This will replace the brown Australia one they gave him for Christmas that too small but he still wears everyday. These Lego's are his special gift from mamaw & Grandpa in Indiana.


These Lego's are his gift from mamaw and grandpa in Indiana. He got to pick them out individually when we were at Lego Land at Disney! He had a blast and has been building 24/7 now!! Thought mamaw & grandpa would enjoy the pics... What a special birthday!
