Papa's Birthday Adventure (Part Two)

On Day two (Sunday), which was Don's actual birthday, "my assistant" and I went to one of our favorite waffle places to pick up breakfast.

Now these waffles are no ordinary waffles.  They are crisp, sweet and buttery and made out of a twice-raised dough & they are a treat!  You can get them loaded up with all sorts of toppings.  We decided to get them just plain today with a little confectioner's sugar so that we could add all of our own yummy breakfast toppings at home!

Oops, I almost forgot, a picture of my assistant:

For lunch we picked us up a couple of bento boxes and once again had a very quiet lunch.

.

Although a had another special dinner planned for this day (two) of our extravaganza we decided to skip it. We were so full from our lunch that we all just went home and took a nap.

Later that evening Gianna & I began working on Papa's birthday cake.  We had several cake pan options to choose from.  Gianna insisted that we used, the heart-shaped pan.  Although I am not even sure how she knew that we had that pan (because we hardly use it) she was sure that Papa would love a light blue, heart-shaped birthday cake.

So once we picked our pan, we got our cake in the oven.

Then with this buttercream recipe, we began frosting our cake.

"A few little sprinkles should do the trick."

Pat it down.

And of course,  a candle...

Papa was extremely happy with his girls and his specially made birthday cake

 A sweet & happy ending to day two of papa's birthday celebration!

Happy Birthday Papa!
