Friday evening (Feb 27th) was the annual "blue and gold" dinner for the cub scouts. Each of the cub scouts had drawn out a state to represent in a cake. Nathan hasd pulled Vermont. He and I had fun making it. It was super easy and there was no competition this time around. He wanted a lemon meringue pie for his birthday the next day but he said he didn't mind using the lemon "Vermont" cake instead. I felt a bit lazy and didn't want to bake again so soon. It was delicious when we ate it on Saturday for his birthday with some Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Vermont ice cream. We went with the theme and check our cake, it is accompanied by a bottle of Vermont maple syrup even has little Playmobil skiers on it!
Nathan measured & mixed the ingredients, greased and floured the pan, baked the cake. I cut it to shape before sticking it in the freezer. He iced the top and I the sides. To prove 2 cooks in the kitchen can sometimes work.

Basking in the glow of the candles. Already in the double digits.
Nathan and his birthday loot: the Build-a-Bear car he's asked for 2 years and a karate outfit for his rabbit disguised in a motorcycle jacket and a cowboy hat, and a play model of the Star Wars Millenium Falcon.One more: for his birthday dinner he requested my least favorite place to eat: Mc Do. Oh well, it's not my birthday. Don took and edited this last picture from his new phone. Pretty neat, huh!
Happy Birthday! Sorry I didn't call. I wanted to give everyone a call on their birthday but I have been way busy with school and now softball started. You are awesome! I love your cake too. love, Aunt Michelle
