Jordan, aka baby Jo (at least that's what Jonah calls her) turned 4 last week. She had her party at Logan Park today. The party went really well, the kids were kept busy with various activities and they had a great time at the park. The weather held up too, which was really nice. I was really afraid that it'd rain and ruin the cakes that I worked so hard on. I volunteered to make Jordan's birthday cake, I've always wanted to make a princess/barbie cake but never had the occasion to do so. Stephany was kind enough to entrust me with Jordan's cake and left it pretty much up to me. I originally was only making a princess cake, but then after I baked it, I realized that it probably won't be too tasty because it had to bake for a long time for the middle of the cake to set. So I made a castle cake to go along with the princess theme. I think it came out alright - not entirely happy with the castle cake. Overall, I am satisfied with how the cakes turned out, since I've never made either kind before. I think all the kids, especially all the little girls, really liked the cakes.

Cinderella is Jordan's favorite princess, so I tried to make a Cinderella cake, but it came out like this. I had a really hard time with the hair, I can't figure out Cinderella's hair-do. It would probably look more like Cinderella if I put fondant "gloves" on her arms, but I had a difficult enough time making her body look neat, so I decided against it.
Cinderella castle cake. Could've been way better with fondant.
Jordan excited for her cake, I hope...I think she was from her expression.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY JO!!!
