Heidi's Birthday Baking

Heidi's mom here.

I know that Heidi has written about her birthday party and how much she liked her cakes.  I had a lot of fun baking them for her.  It makes me laugh when I watch her eat her cake with her front teeth.  She sort of nibbles her way down through the frosting first, before enjoying the cake at the bottom.  

I baked the cakes the morning of her party.  While we were at the beach I sneaked out of the house and headed to Salty Paws Biscuits, a barkery we love.  I purchased this peanut butter cake mix that included a mix for yogurt frosting.  I only had to add an egg, a little bit of oil, and some water.  Super easy!

Just a few ingredients needed.

Mixed and ready to be baked.

Cooling before icing application.

The cake actually smelled like peanut butter.  I was tempted to eat one myself.  After cooling I mixed the icing powder with a little bit of water and applied it to the tops of the cakes.  It just seemed like they were missing something though, so with the help of my friend's daughter, we made a peanut butter drizzle to decorate the tops.

I love celebrating Heidi's birthday every year.  This year we couldn't do it at the beach - the first time ever.  We made up for it with my friend and her daughter and their two dogs coming over to celebrate with us.  Wylie had a great time distributing the cakes to the dogs and they had a great time eating them.  All of this makes me very happy!
