Jesse's "Super" Birthday!

Well, Jesse's birthday has come and gone.  It was yesterday.  A couple of weeks ago, I asked him what kind of cake he wanted.  When he responded, "NERDS cake,"  my response was, "DUH!"  Haha.  It's his favorite.  I know that.  But I meant, how did he want it decorated.  His response, "I don't care."  Typical man, typical Jesse.  So I pestered him ;)  Here's how we decided.  None of his sports teams were doing well this year.  So he said red.  If you know anything about tinting icing, you know that red is not fun...  It takes a LOT of color to turn a whole batch of icing red.  So I said I would not have a completely red cake.  He needed to pick something to go with red.  So he said blue.  Then it hit him, "Superman!!!"  So, he got a Superman NERDS cake!!!

Super Jesse Birthday cake!

The yellow, red, and blue stars made it look more "comic bookie"

It came out pretty good if I do say so myself!  I still need to practice my writing, but other than that, I'm pretty proud of it!

Our afternoon service starts at 2:30 here, so afterwards, we invited everyone over for cake and coffee!!  And I threw some piggies (pigs-in-the-blanket) in the oven.  We enjoyed it, and there's only one small piece of cake left!  Thank goodness.  I was afraid we would be eating cake for a week (Jesse wouldn't have minded; he loves cake!).

The "Super" Birthday Boy and his "Super" cake!

No I didn't put 24 candles, there are 2 on one side and 4 on the other.  That's 24, not 6 ;)
(We didn't have any  matches, so he pretended to blow them out...  oops...)

All is going well!  Turkey day is Thursday!!!  Eat well :)
