Happy 50th Birthday Pop!

So tomorrow is my dad's 50th birthday and so we headed down to Trussville today to help him celebrate.  We had a WONDERFUL meal and afterwards we enjoyed this...

I saw this really cool cake online that actually had houndstooth on it, but when I attempted it, it was a disaster so i opted for the black checked squares instead.  I know it doesn't have the same effect but it's the best I could do.

The birthday boy!

The hungry vultures waiting to cut the cake.

Happy Birthday Dad, we love you and enjoyed our day with you today!

Just Because

This morning I told Eugene that I was going to make him a surprise today.  A red velvet cake, his favorite.  I could tell he didn't really want a red velvet cake but he never said anything otherwise.  when I asked him id red velvet was ok he responded with "How about chocolate?"  So chocolate is what he got...

Homemade chocolate cake with homemade chocolate buttercream, YUM!

Did I go a little overboard with the whole groom's cake theme for a cake that's just going to be eaten at home?  Nah!

Landon HAD to take a picture of the cake too, to be honest I kinda like how it's at an angle : )
