Last week my twin girls turned the big 4. Happy Birthday sweeties. After going back and forth a million times {no exaggeration} they ultimately decided on a Hello Kitty Cake. While I usually make 2 cakes for their special day {we sing to each separately as well}, this year I opted for One.Huge.Cake.
The bottom tier was pink rainbow layers, the top tier – purple layers. Rainbow layers is fairly simple yet time consuming to do. You just have to separate your batter equally among the cakes and color each one to suit before baking.
I have to also give a special thanks to my oldest daughter, Isabelle {7}, as she helped me so much with the girls’ cake. She even made the flowers all by herself! I’m so proud of her, and very happy that we got to spend this time together baking and decorating.
Before I was even done decorating the twins peeked onto the counter at their cake, “Best.cake.ever.Mom!” {smile}. Yet, they say this each year about the cakes I make, bless their hearts. Thank you Katie and Sophia, I do it to make your day. And a great day it was, complete with delicious cake and ice cream.
What a great 4th birthday for my twin babies!
