Happy 8th month day!

Yesterday, there were two reasons to celebrate with some cake: Valentine's day and our baby's 8th month day. So we got a Valentine-inspired Dora cake. It was a chocolate cake with lemon buttercream filling covered in marshmallow fondant. It looked absolutely cute, perfect for our little girl. It tasted yummy too, a bit too sweet, yes, but yummy. The colors were great, my favorites, purple and pink. And it was really girly, with its pink cutout hearts and little flowers. The Dora figure, which is about 3 inches in height, is edible but we don't have the heart to eat it yet. And its just so amusing to look at because I think Dora looks a little like Elmo here, with those big eyes of hers. But the details of the figure is amazing. Its so Dora, from the bracelet down to the shoes.
I just wish I could also give baking a try someday. I mean, to be able to create even just cupcakes or simple cookies. I think I'd have a blast. Not to mention it would also be a nice bonding activity for mother and daughter, don't you think? And it will also keep hubby's tummy happy. Maybe after the laptop, I should ask for an oven next?
