Preparing for my birthday
Tomorrow is a very exciting day because I'm turning 2 years old!! We're having a small get-together with just a few friends and family on Saturday, and Mommy and I had to do some preparations today.
You see, dessert is always an issue with me because I'm allergic to egg whites. And not very many good cookies or cakes are made without eggs. Never fear, we have the internet! Mommy searched "eggless cakes" and came up with a seemingly good chocolate cake recipe. So we got to baking to see if it would be good enough to eat. I was a really good helper!
Since I'm having an Elmo party, Mommy decided to see what she could do Elmo-wise with this cake. Poor Mommy, she's not really super creative, but she tries. She usually thinks of good ideas after she's already started and gotten too far to perfectly implement those ideas....and this is what the end result was today. Since this is just our "try-it-out" cake and not the real party cake, Mommy thought it was an okay start. She has some new ideas for the real cake, so we'll see how it turns out! Stay tuned...
