"My Digger Birthday"

Barrett has been referring  to his upcoming 3rd birthday as "my digger birthday" because he had picked out a construction type Mega-blocks set for his birthday a few months ago.  I hid it in the basement thinking that he would forget all about it before his birthday arrived.  I obviously underestimated his memory, so the theme for his party was evident.  I called on the talented Brittney to help with the birthday cake.  She exceeded all expectations once again.  I baked the chocolate sheet cake in a 10"x15" pan and provided the butter, powdered sugar and digger and she created another edible work of art.  I gave the kids each a party "hard hat" to wear and a few of the adults wore them too.  I also made a vegan lemon Bundt cake and a yellow sheet cake that I served with sliced strawberries for the guests whose tastes didn't run to chocolate sheet cake with colored buttercream frosting.  The lemon vegan cake was a little dense, but surprisingly good.  It was a fun party!

He was thrilled with it.

Brittney even put dirt and rocks into the shovel.

Does Britt need to go into business or what?
