Lady Bugs and Spice Cake

 

A few years back I had made the decision to humor my sweet Ava in almost whatever she had an idea to do. One day she had informed me that it was her baby doll Max’s birthday and she would like to have a party for him. A few days later, the cake was baked, balloons were blown up, and party hats were on.

Today, I am told, is Lady Bugs birthday, she is 3 years old. As I had hoped that she wouldn’t remember Max’s party, she did. So, the cake is in the oven, the balloons are waiting for all of my hot air, and the party hats are on deck. Yay.
