Our beach day got rained out, and our photo-session this morning could've used a little more predictable light, but, we had a great day anyway.
The only pic of her I'm going to show thanks to the pedo post thing that went down recently on PC&E- it shows the birthday dress I whipped up last night. It's just the LBB racerback pattern- a super quick dress to make, and it's big to hopefully last. The applique isn't really as crooked as it looks.
Her birthday cake! It took almost 3 hours to make this thing, thanks to only having two pans of this size- but, OMG, the kids thought it was the best thing ever. So worth it.
Awww, that dress is so cute. And I love the cake. I made a rainbow cake for DS's first birthday this year. (pics here if you want to see mine www.fraisesettartines.com/2012/07/rainbow-cake.html ) I was lucky enough to borrow my friend's 5 9-inch pans when I made it, so it only took 1 extra round of baking to do it. Even with that, it was an intense cake to make, but like with you said, big hit! I love your version with the "3" on it!
