Yes five.
Wasn't it just yesterday she turned three?
Despite the fact that she came down with a cold and we had to reschedule her birthday party, she was in really good spirits. In fact, these two little monkeys rather enjoyed themselves at their own little party.
Yes, did you know that when you turn five you're automatically granted your hair-cutters license?
I did not know.
Had I known, I may not have left the room when Grace was innocently working on her new loom with scissors in hand.
Anywho. It was a good day. Several family visitors stopped by throughout the day with gifts and birthday wishes. And Grace never had to get out of her jammies.
Plus there was a snowman cake. Wanting to make the "snow" as white as possible I used real whipping cream for the frosting. I think this in itself made up for the rescheduled party. Yum.
Yes, I think she had a good birthday. My little barber.
Simple White Cake
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.
