After hearing a story from a friend about making his own son's birthday cake, Tim made up his mind that he too would make Addie a birthday cake each year. So....several weeks ago he started his research and found a cake on the internet that he thought he would like to tackle. After Addie was tucked into bed Wednesday night, Tim got busy......around 8:30 or so. From a trip to Walmart earlier in the week, he had purchased a nice supply of cake mix, frosting and colored icings to help get the job done......and the adventure begins.....
Around 10:30, the cake and cupcakes he was using were cool enough to apply the frosting......
Around 11:00, the masterpiece has started to come together.......
And here it is folks.........12:30 AM and we have a MONKEY CAKE!!!!!!!!
And a Daddy who is very proud of his creation and the adorable little monkey girl asleep upstairs! Yes......he did have to work the next morning!
Don't ya just love him? The cake turned out so adorable and Addie loved it!!!
I have plenty of cute pictures and stories to share from this week so I will have options for my upcoming posts. We have family in town for the birthday bash on Saturday. My cousin and her twins are staying with us through the weekend, so I have very little time to get on the computer. Right now everyone, but me, is taking a nice little catnap before dinner! Stay tuned for more of the Birthday Story!
Happy Birthday little Claire....and Momma Emily too!

That is AWESOME! Ask Tim if I can put an order in for Lily's birthday!! We are looking forward to tomorrow!
That is too cute! Tim, you're the man! :)
Nick and I both saw this (at different times) and just had a conversation about it and how amazed we were! lol
Nick was super proud of himself for making a plain, double-layer cake with chocolate icing this past weekend... now, I think he's feeling inferior. lol
I hope Addie has a great birthday party! Can't wait to hear all about! Happy Birthday (again!), Monkey! :)
What a DAD!! He deserves a big reward for that Carrie! :) Can you ship those cakes up to PA?
Addie will have something to look forward to every year!
This was the sweetest story. Tim is definately a keeper and such a "hands-on" dad. I think this and mother's day stories were very cute.
Thanks for the birthday wishes for Claire. She had a great b-day. I will send you pics soon.
