Happy Birthday Luke

I didn't want to do anything extreme, didn't want to make a production but I needed, wanted to do something special today for Luke's birthday so I decided to make a homemade, from scratch cake. It's something I can do every year - by myself or for everyone to share, whatever the mood leads to. My mom always made our birthday cakes except for one year because I so wanted a bakery cake she got me one....it wasn't as good as mom's. It seems weird to call it Luke's birthday though I guess literally it is, but it's definitely Luke's day. I wanted to make something special, not your run of the mill birthday cake. I decided either a carrot cake  or  an Italian creme cake - Tony likes both of these and made the final decision on the Italian creme cheese. It was a success! (Some of you might know of my not so excellent kitchen skills but baking I can do...usually...this time didn't dissappoint thank goodness!) And the peach rose is something that came to be special as well so I bought one to have. Tony and I have spent the day together and it has been perfect. Jesus kiss my Luke, watch over us, use this to bring us to You, to make us better parents if we are blessed with more children, Thank you for getting us through.
