Applauding Two Major Accomplishments

He is celebrating his 80th birthday, and to do so he threw a birthday bash for all of his family and close friends(which by the way, he has many). She took on the huge task of creating all of the desserts herself, including his birthday cake, because of the love for her grandpa and because of her joy in baking and creating. She is my neice, and I must admit, I am so proud of her accomplishment in this major endeavor.

This cake was baked in two large cake pans from her grandma's collection. She is a very fortunate young lady in that she has two grandmas who were known for their cooking, baking and entertaining skills.

Angel food cakes and chocolate cakes with peanut butter icing and chopped Reese's peanut butter cups...her grandpa's favorite desserts. She baked and decorated each one. I cannot imagine the time, skill, and energy that was needed for this task. She mastered it...he proudly shared it at his birthday party last evening. She would like to open a restaurant someday in the future. If you ask me, she is well on her way. Congratulations dear neice and happy 80th birthday to your handsome grandpa!
