Six Years...In Cake.

     Once upon a time, I used to blog.  Then life got in the way for a few months.  But now, the blog is back!  And what better way to celebrate its return than with my favorite food group in the entire world: CAKE.

     Yesterday Teague turned 6.  Which means that six years ago yesterday my Mom started the tradition of making him whatever kind of cake he wanted for his birthday.  But my Mom is special.  She can't just make a run-of-the-mill sheet cake.  Or even use a pre-form pan to design a character. 

     Nope.  She starts with an image of a character or an object and literally builds it from the ground up.  Or table up, I suppose.  Making cake on the ground is gross.

Anyway...

     In order to celebrate Teague's birth for one more day, and to celebrate how talented his Nana Pam is, I decided to post pics of each cake she has made over the past six years.

They have brought us so much joy and I hope you enjoy seeing them now!
