Happy Birthday Meme

Ella was so excited about Meme's birthday all week. Since she LOVES birthdays, she can't wait to celebrate in Dallas tomorrow. Today we made a red velvet cake, from scratch. She siad she was "making a ladybug cake for Meme." This is because it is red & there was a ladybug on the box of the red food coloring. Here is step by step how to do it in case you ever need to know...pictures show the process minus the final product. She was in bed before I topped the cake off with the homeade icing. And to tell the truth, the cake has some "appearance issues," but I'm sure it will taste delicious! I don't blame Ella at all...she is quite a little baker!

FYI - this stuff does stain!Checking out how a sifter works.Of course I remembered her apron AFTER the red food coloring part.So serious!Showing some attitude!Snuck this one in...guess she was finished stirring.
And here is one of the Happy Birthday videos she made for Meme.
