KC's birthday

KC is six today!  Sometimes I look at the young boy that he is, and it is hard to believe that 6 yrs ago he was a teeny preemie with no eyebrows, no eyelashes and barely any hair!  So tiny he could not cry, only sort of squeak.  And now, he is this amazing, creative, exuberant young boy.  Thus far we have brought cupcakes to his dance class so he could party with his friends there.  We have gotten his new library card after he proudly and carefully wrote his name for the librarian, and we have decorated his cake. 

Incidently, although I may watch cake boss, I so am not of Buddy's caliber!  LOL  Last night I baked a round white cake.  It stuck to the pan.  This is covered by frosting.  Frosting is what cakes are all about anyway!  Especially when you are 6!  Then I baked the 2 rainbow shaped sugar cookies and decorated them with sparkly gel.  Then I put the 2 rainbows togehter with frosting to "glue" them and mounted them on the back of the cake.  With cloud shaped cookies on either side of the rainbow.  It was stunning. . . until the gel began to drip slowly down from the rainbow!  ROFL 

However I don't sweat stuff like that.  My son looked at the cake and clapped his hands and said "oh it is SO beautiful."  So it is.  Drippy gel and all!

In a little bit we will put up rainbow colored streamers and hide the clues for the treasure hunt, fill the pinata and party!
