Tess is 15!!!!
Life is good when your child is old enough, talented enough and willing to make her own birthday cake! Here is how Tess made hers.
Step 1: Find a design you want to make on your cake.
Print it up or get a copy of it to use.
Step 2: Lay picture on slightly damp table (helps things not to slip) and cover with clear plastic wrap.
Step 3: Trace outline in black frosting (squeezing from baggie)
Step 4: Fill in all the rest of your colors with colored frosting in baggies.
Step 5: Cross your arms, lift plastic off the table and carefully lay on the center of your frosted cake.
Step 6: Press and smooth frosting from plastic wrap onto cake. Leave plastic on and place cake in freezer for ten minutes.
Step 7: Remove from freezer and carefully peel back plastic to reveal amazing design!
Tess did this completely on her own while I was at choir practice!
She chose a super hard design and it turned out GRRRREAT!
(her high school mascot is a tiger in case you are wondering)
One talented 15 year old!
Time to make a wish!
She needed a little help from her friend,
Kira, to get the last few candles out!
Tess didn't know we'd invited three of her best friends, Hailey, Kira, and McKaylee and her Aunt Liza, Uncle Bill, and Grandparents to her b-day dinner!
She was surprised to see them walk in the door.
It wouldn't be a real party without Kira doing something CRAZY!
She is licking up the balsalmic vinegar off the plate. YUM!!!!!
Kira and McKaylee rocking out
The end to a perfect day, playing rock band with her uncle Bill, her friends and family!
We are so lucky to have Tess in our family! She was an amazingly beautiful baby and has always been so bright and intelligent and wonderful! I don't know what we did to get so lucky but I'm sure glad she's ours!
