I was in Ohio this past week to celebrate my dear Mom's 89th birthday!! Doesn't she look so cute? I made her favorite angel food cake and topped it with her favorite frosting. For our dinner we had, at Mom's request: Sloppy Joe's, green beans, cole slaw, pink raspberry lemonade, and the cake with ice cream and homemade hot fudge sauce. My sister made Strawberry Whipped Sensation Pie, also. Mom loved it all!
My sister set up the buffet for her, with fun props, pretty paper plates and napkins, and the counted cross stitch that she made years ago.
We made this cake pedestal from a thrifted candlestick that Mom had bought years ago, and a new plate ($2.50) from Big Lots. Mom loved the plate so much. it went so well with the paper plates.
Here's Mom's favorite cake. My sister and I love it, too! The recipe for the Speedy Meringue Frosting can be found here.
Here's a selfie with me, my brother, Mom, and my sister.
Here we are using our props: My sister (holding my niece's baby, our great nephew, and my Mom's newest great grandson, my niece, me, Mom, and my nephew.
I had to get my nephew's girlfriend in the pic, who is on the left. She was sweet enough to take our pictures, and then she did a timed selfie of all of us.
I'm sharing this with these lovely parties:

Dear Kitty:
ReplyDeleteI apologize for just arriving here today. Last week our company came a day earlier than planned so it was a made dash to prepare our home and grocery list for feeding them and then they visited and then - I had a tooth pulled. Life is busy - right! Your photos show a happy family and I love the photo with your Mother who I am pleased to see. Thanks for sharing the celebration. The cake looks amazing and we love sloppy Joe's so is it still to late to come???? Bummer!
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWe have enjoyed featuring your awesome post at Full Plate Thursday! Hope you are having a great week and thanks so much for sharing with us!
