Got Dice?

Happy Birthday to you! You live in a zoo, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too! Happy Birthday Ben. 

My awesome husband turned 33 years old today. All day he kept telling me "it's not my birthday. I don't turn 33 until 7:30pm" my reply "keep telling yourself that". I love my old fart. I try to let him know, especially around birthdays. 

Today has been a crazy day. I feel like I've got very little done. It took me longer to make Ben's birthday cake than it use to. I did have to stop what I was doing to feed Matthew, tend to Emily and James. Who knows what else. I did have to go to the store to get some lemons. I made Ben choose what type of cake he wanted before I made any cake. He chose Lemon Cake with Lemon Filling and Lemon Butter Frosting. This was my first attempt using fondant. I bought the package at least 3 years ago. I believe that was the reason I had some difficulty with it. Next time I wont wait that long. I did wait until I had a bigger kitchen.

Ben was being a brat, so I was threatening to throw powder sugar at him.

Trying to make red and blue marble fondant.

The finish result... Got Dice? Ben likes to play Dungeons and Dragons which uses a good amount of dice. Now that I mention it, curious me should probably count how many dice he does have. So I thought I could add to his dice collection, at least for a little bit. 

*I just had to mention to that Corinne (SIL) left the best birthday message on our voicemail. It cracked us up. Thanks, I really enjoyed it.
