Lyanne turned three in conclusion December 31st. Phew! She's 3. Time flies. She's non equally chatty equally Lydia, especial inwards her ain way. Handy inwards the kitchen, loves podding beans, peeling chestnuts as well as brand cookies! And i time she comes inwards to help, she stays until the end. Sweet girl. She merely started Kindergarden, inwards a four twelvemonth onetime class, but she's merely three years as well as v days old. I worried..but I intend she's doing fine. She loves school.
She loves elephants. So, I made her an elephant cake. I was hoping it'll live something like Elly of Pocoyo. It wasn't real much similar Elly, but haha, a cousin of mine said it's Elly the minute she saw it. So, I think.... I think... I intend I am successful .. I think.
I didn't desire to purpose any artificial colouring this time, as well as thus to tint the buttercream pink, I used huckleberry extract alongside lemon juice. The color was good ok. :)
And since it's kumquat season, I desire to accept total wages of it as well as brand something alongside kumquat. My girls honey orangish cakes as well as so... this cake's combination came about. Was this cake good? Hmm.... Let's merely say, real very real good recieved.
