my oldest baby is 12! {fresno clovis photographer}
July 22, 2010
Seems like she was dancing around on my parents deck singing songs from “Beauty and the Beast” in her little Snow White costume just the other day… now she is getting ready to register for junior high… *sigh*… But she is still as sweet as ever and we couldn’t be any prouder of our Princess. Happy Birthday, sweetheart!!
My daughter and I saw this cake on Bobbi+Mike ‘s blog and we knew we had to try it. I used to make all sorts of crazy, amazing cakes for the kids’ birthdays, especially my daughter’s since she’s the oldest… But it had been awhile since I have done a fun cake, so we decided it was time for a fun one! It really wasn’t very hard and the results were so worth the time it took to cook the 6 layers (3 shifts in the oven with my 2 cake pans)! This one was vanilla, but next time, we thought it might be fun to flavor the cake with some kind of fruitiness…
I had some great help in getting our masterpiece underway…
Cutting into the cake was SO exciting!! 
1st birthday to 12th birthday… passes so quickly… Love you much, birthday girl!!
