Journee's 14th Birthday

So for Journee's birthday this year she didn't really tell me what she wanted for a cake except that she wanted chocolate wth white mountain frosting. Once when I first made a fondant cake she ate too much of the fondant and doesn't really appreciate it now. Well, I still wanted to do something that had the same sort of feel so I frosted the whole thing and then added some fondant decorations. She doesn't mind these because I make them out of chocolate chips and marshmallows and they sort of end up tasting like tootsie rolls. I really had no idea what to do for sure so I decided to go with blue since it is her favorite color. This is what I ended up with. I think she really liked it.

Fourteen candles!

She had a couple of friends over to hang out after school and have dinner and cake before mutual. Her dinner request was ribs and mashed potatoes. So we had bbq ribs, garlic mashed potatoes, corn, salad, rolls, and raspberry cream soda. Singing happy birthday to her.They were laughing because some of the candles were trick candles and were sparking.One more try...got 'em.

She didn't get much in the way of actual presents. She got a card from us letting her know we would take her and a couple friends out to dinner and then go see 'New Moon' when it comes out in a couple weeks (her request). She also got her love dollar and card from Grandma and pa Putnam, some money and a card from Grandma and pa Hyde and some peanut M&M's from the kids. We sure do love her and hope she had a wonderful day!
