It's been a month now since Alannah's birthday but we never wrote about it. Since she is in the States this week and I miss her, I decided now would be a good time. She celebrated with her close friends who spent the day doing very Alannah things. They baked cupcakes, make an ice cream cake, and sewed sock creatures with Tess from the book Rebecca sent us. (we love it!)
The evening involved the zip line, eye shadow, a good deal of German candy, and movies. No complaints here. Couldn't ask for a nicer bunch of girls.
Alannah wants me to mention the cake was awesome. She makes her own since the making of them is as much fun for her as the eating of them. So I can tell you what I saw. : ) She made two cake layers and froze them. In the same size pan we froze (I got to do this part!) a layer of mint chocolate chip ice cream. She added green coloring and mint extract to buttercream frosting.
Am going to have to have her remind me now because I see powdered sugar in the bowl but I see a tub of frosting on the table later. We may have made some for the cake and doctored up some for the cupcakes. It escapes me now.
What a beautiful young lady your Allanah is!!! And those cakes look scrumptious!
