Brynne's Birthday Part II

We had a birthday party with our extended family last Friday night at my sister's house in Salt Lake.  (I let my girls have friend parties every other year and Brynne doesn't get one this year.) She and Blythe have been into Smurfs lately, which I think is kind of funny because I played with Smurfs when I was about Blythe's age.  My Mom had saved my old Smurfs and I was able to find them in the basement and now the girls play with them, as well as some new ones that they have acquired.  In fact, I even dressed up as a Smurf the Halloween that I was in 4th grade. So anyway, I'm only mentioning this because Brynne requested a Smurf cake from Brittney for her party.  Brynne and I both envisioned a rectangular sheet cake with Brainy Smurf, Smurfette and Baby Smurf (as requested by Brynne) depicted in buttercream frosting.  Brittney had a more elaborate vision.  .  .  .

She decided to make an entire Smurf house!

Britt made the Smurfs herself out of fondant.

Notice the brick chimney with the smoke curling up.

Here is a close-up of Brainy Smurf.

He is holding a book titled, "How to be like Brynne."

Here are Baby Smurf and Smurfette.

Can you believe the detail on these Smurfs?

This was Brynne's reaction when she saw the cake

for the first time.  We had kept it sequestered inside the

house so she didn't see it until we were ready to sing to her.

Brittney refused to tell me how many hours 

she spent creating this cake.  

Brittney, the cake artist extraordinaire,

about to cut into the cake.  The inside of 

the cake was devil's food that my Mom and I had

made and I made white chocolate cream cheese

frosting that is incredible that Britt used to frost

the cake and make the grass and path.
