Halloween/Birthday Fun...

So today is an extra special day of the year...not only is it Halloween but it is my hubby's birthday too. So today I made him a cake (one that requires no eggs -- so he can eat it-- and is very yummy). The cake is called Crazy Cake (or Poor Man's Cake). Here are the ingredients and how its made...

Here is the recipe...the following pics are from the process of making the cake

I also made homemade icing for the cake. Here are the ingredients and pics from making the icing...

This was before food coloring

After food coloring...it is purple (but sort of looks blue in this picture)

The FINAL PRODUCT...









So this evening before the trick-or-treaters started coming we went out to eat with a UK IBS Program classmate of Jason's-- Shawn and his girlfriend Mallory. We had dinner at Logan's and then came back to the house for cake and hangout time while the trick-or-treaters came by. We dress Leia up for Halloween...she was Princess Leia (quite fitting for her since she is our Princess Leia). Here are some pics of Leia in her costume and our friends over for Jason's birthday...

This is from when I made her costume and she sat still for me to take pics

My little Princess Leia...isn't she the cutest!!

Pics from tonight...

Soaking up the attention...she isn't spoiled at all...NOT!

Me passing out candy...Leia had to see all the Trick-or-Treaters too

We had a great time with friends celebrating Jason's birthday and enjoying the Halloween holiday!!
