Sarah's 7th Birthday

Sarah's birthday fell on Labor Day this year. We had spent the day at the pool and Mark and Lucas arrived back from New Jersey. We stopped at Target to pick up a cake for the family celebration and order cupcakes for school. Being Labor Day, her ready-made cake choices consisted of red, white, blue, flags, star sprinkles and more red, white and blue. Add to the fact that she only wanted chocolate cake, her choices were limited even further. So we got this:



If you look closely, you'll notice how the nice lady behind the counter scraped off the red frosting on the top of the cake and replaced it with the purple Sarah asked for. I'm not complaining...I thought is was a sweet gesture on her part to salvage a patriotic cake into something suitable for a little girl's birthday while we finished the rest of our shopping.





Then we stuck trick candles in the cake that kept re-lighting themselves so it was a fun night. The cupcakes for the school were very cute - chocolate frosting with Bratz rings. Thanks Target.
