Noel turned 17 this year. Not only does she have the most beautiful smile, but she is also a creative artist. Thus, her cake was a colorful palette with paint colors.
We were glad that her friend, Dorie, was home from college to celebrate with us.
Dorie's mom, Marla, joined us for cake and iceream as well. I love the below photo of these three. They have been on many roadtrips and adventures all across the county together. What an adventurous crew. Marla and Dorie have been a wonderful part of Noel's teen years.
I had a lot of fun making Noel's colorful cake. But, when it comes to Mattias's birthday, he always looks forward to making his own. He can remember all the cakes he has attempted in the past, with varying degrees of success. This year he wanted to try a log cake with whipped cream filling. I think it turned out tasty.
Mattias turned 14 this year, and has a low voice and a loud laugh. We love having him around. He fills our house with music and new ideas. Without him, we would know very little about air compressors, metal lathes, or sodium chloride hexahydrate.
Janurary birthdays are a wonderful excuse to enjoy tasty cakes with good friends. It also amazes me to see the good-hearted people my kids are turning into.
