Baking Up A Birthday

Choosing a birthday treat is no easy task.

Originally, Zoe liked the idea of going down to Arcata Scoop for some local made ice cream. But she couldn't be absolutely 100% certain they would have chocolate in the case. Probably they would, but what if they didn't?

So Zoe put in a request for chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting. Since we had been talking about the ice cream shop for so long, I checked in with her on the scoop/cupcake debate a couple times. She remained steadfast for a day, then announced she had changed her mind again.

"I want a square cake like in New Jersey, cut in straight lines and squares. Still chocolate with vanilla frosting." That decision was locked in this morning. Here, she points out a spot that needs more sprinkles.



Extra frosting and sprinkles put to good use:

It's a beautiful cake! I'm glad a decision was reached on the final form the goodies would take; it's hard when it all sounds so good. I hope you guys have a great day tomorrow!

P.S. she is totally a girl after my own heart- chocolate rules!!

Such hard decisions! You'll have to enjoy extra bites for all of us. Happy, happy 4th birthday to a very special girl!
