Here are eight of the nine cakes we ended up making. Thank you David Lebovitz for providing the vast majority of the recipes.
This is before everyone got there. After everyone got there it was more an exercise to see how many people we could fit in our house...
So the birthday part was fun, but the real fun was finding out what we are having.
Cherry was awesome and volunteered to make our baby cake. I gave her the sealed envelope from the ultrasound tech and she made the cake yesterday and today. It was an awesome cake.
Once everyone was more or less there we cut the cake to find out what was inside.
And...
There you go. The secret is out.
We were both happy. It was what we were expecting, so at least there were no shocks to the system.
I apologize in advance to Lisa for posting this picture. It is just the only one we have of that moment.
Yay for baby girls!! Anyone have any name suggestions?
Little pieces of 10 cakes = too much cake. Sometimes it's a curse that my wife is such a good baker...or maybe it's a curse that I have such little self control.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your baby girl!!! Great way to find out!!! I love baby name voyager when I'm looking for names. She has a great blog, namipedia, and a place where you can check the popularity of any name over the last 100 years. http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager
