My dad and I got up early to go over to Garen's high school and paint the school rock:
Some of Garen's friends came over the night before his birthday and painted his car:
Garen requested a "cookie" cake for his birthday. Basically, I just made regular cookie dough, greased a baking sheet, evenly spread the cookie dough on the sheet, and baked it at its normal temperature. I think I shortened the bake time some, but I tried to stay in the kitchen until the edges were evenly browned (crunchy on the outer edges and chewy in the middle...best kind!)
I did have some "helpers" in the kitchen, while I was making the cookie cake:
James (cat) was "helping" me by repeatedly attacking my apron strings and clawing at my legs and Daisy (dog) was "helping" me by cleaning up the floor just in case I dropped any food ;)
I decorated Garen's cake using buttercream icing. The idea to draw a pair of "Ray Ban" sunglasses popped into my head randomly, and I decided to go with it. Garen loves his Ray Ban's! The black icing came out a little gray, but I wanted the icing to still have good flavor (the more dye, the less it tastes good). I used a gel food coloring for the lense part of the sunglasses. I am pretty satisified with how it turned out. It tasted good too!
I hope you had a great birthday, Garen. I love youuu!
Until next time,
K
