My birthday happened to fall on the day that Brent pulls a 14 hour work day, so we’re pretending my birthday is tomorrow. The girls decided that I needed a cake today though since it was my actual birthday. I think they thought they were going to make it themselves because when I started to get everything ready to make the cake, I was bombarded with two little girls who were beside themselves about the fact that I was going to make my own birthday cake.
They kept saying “you can’t make your own cake. It must be a surprise.” Followed by “the cake has to be made after you’re in bed and you don’t get to see it until your party!” They definitely have the birthday cake ritual down. 
They finally were convinced that if they were to get cake tonight, I was going to have to help make it, and we settled on making a butterfly cake. Well, actually I made it while they played in frosting and said things like “I’m just about to do the crumb coat” and “I need a better offset spatula”. I think they’ve been watching cooking videos a little too much. 
The cake turned out a little messy which is a good representation of the whole day. A little messy, but perfect all at the same time.
