This week our little bird turns 5 years old and we are busy planning ways to make it awesome. This here, is the cake we will be baking. It fits right in with the pink theme we are going with.
I 'm still trying to keep things simple in terms of birthdays. Doing something special with just our little foursome and then some quality time with close family and friends. I feel like there is a small window of time where we get the kids all to ourselves before their lives expand and friends and activities takeover. I want to enjoy this time as long as possible. So this year, it's a trip to Disneyland with our foursome, a little celebration in her pre-school class and then a family day full of pink just for her.
The girl loves all things pink and so pink is what she is gonna get. Right down to a pink streak in her hair. Pink nails, new pink dress and tights, pink hair. Pink decorations. Pink cake. Pink overload. When Anita sees a teenager with neon colored hair (pink, purple), she is completely smitten. She gets a dreamy look in her eye and tells me that is what she is going to look like when she is 15. So this week she is 5...going on 15.
On another note, the recipe is from Brown Eyed Baker. I am sure this won't be the last time I mention her on this blog. I have made several of her recipes and we have loved every single one. The girl can do no wrong.
p.s. Yes, I know this is technically a Red Velvet Cake and not a Pink Velvet Cake. But it's her favorite and a little less food coloring should keep it within the realm of pinkness.
