Cake, cake and more cake

It's been birthday week around here...first there was Father's Day and we had ice cream cake, then my birthday (more ice cream cake), then dad's birthday and we made a UFO cake and finally grandma Janet and grandma Wilma had a cake for dad, baby and me to share. Birthday's are a pretty big deal in my family so Erin was determined to make sure everyone got a card that sings and a balloon. The balloons came in handy and was a great way to entertain Gabriella. With "Ella Bella's" first birthday coming up I thought it would be cool to make her a cake but little did I know I'd go crazy trying to find the right cake pan...my state of mind is better now. But while on my quest we ventured out into downtown P-burg and ended up at the supply store connected to Hallmark and they had the biggest amount of "old stuff" I'd ever seen. That's where I found the little green men made by Wilton dated 1978. The bags were old and the cardboard had faded, so I bought it. I figured that was a good year since it was the year my parents got married. So here's cheers to dad and the vintage spaceman cake.
