Yesterday was perfect for a 4th of July picnic in Georgetown. The weather was great - warm but not hot - and we only had a few minutes of the lightest rain sprinkles in the late afternoon. With family, friends and food we couldn't have asked for a nicer celebration.
I posted over the weekend about the firecracker cake I was making. Well, it worked! Red, white and blue cakey goodness~
It's a small success, but opens up a world of ideas for me.
I also tried the marshmallow pops I posted about from Living Locurto. Huge fail there. I found red, white & blue star shaped marshmallows at Sprawl-mart and decided to use them instead of the traditional round ones. Unfortunately they turned into gooey blobs when I dipped them in the melted chocolate. I made some other mistakes when making them, but let's not rehash that. The kids still thought they were completely rad and the grown ups thought they were intriguing enough to try one.
We had red, white and blue drinks, snacks and candies and some real food like sandwiches, hummus, pita, cukes, etc. thrown in for good measure.
Here I am with the birthday girl, aka: Mom, setting up. And here is one of our very happy customers~
Hope you had a very happy 4th!

What kid wouldn't love that cake? I know I'd like a giant slice!
I love the bits of frosting on his happy face. He enjoyed it so much, he even got some on his nose! Happy customer indeed.
