Pedal Cake

I had mentioned in my last blog that I would take a picture of the "pedal cake" I made for Lynda's birthday. I big holiday called Christmas came up so I didn't get it in the blog the next day so here it is now.
It looks like flower pedals so I guess that's why I call it "pedal cake". My brother, Ken, calls it "shower cap cake" cause way back when, probably the '60's, I had a fancy pink swimming cap that looked like flower pedals all over it. Back in those days fancy caps were the big "in" thing to use.
Anyway this is it....aren't you impressed.......

A Second Daughter

Today we celebrate our 2nd daughter's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNDA!
1972
I made her a birthday cake with Christmas decorating on it. After all it was almost Christmas.

On Christmas she loved to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Loveridge.
1973
Santa came again to her birthday party.
So did Grandma Ancell.
1978
Santa came again for Lynda's birthday party.
Santa liked to dance with all the cousins.

A cute doll and lots of toys were happily received by the birthday girl with aunt Sue looking on.

1979
Santa couldn't come any more to Lynda's birthday celebration. But her cousins still could even though they did miss the Santa visit.

I had fun decorating her cake copied after a drawing she previously made.
1981
Many cakes followed using her drawings.
I think I was more ambitious then. I'm bringing a cake to celebrate today but it doesn't have the cute drawings. I made a pedal cake. It looks like a big flower. We'll take a picture today and post it tomorrow so you can see what a pedal cake looks like.
