Happy Birthday Oma!!!

June 23rd was Oma's Birthday. We celebrated her birthday with presents and a special dinner. We had noodles, her favorite fried chicken, and a birthday cake for dessert.

With no yummy bakery that I know of around here I bake her a strawberry/blueberry cake to celebrate the day. The cake turned out good . . . . . . it was moist and the berries were fresh. The decorating turned out just OK . . . . I had issues putting the walnuts on the side - they would not stick to the frosting and the frosting . . . well . . . . . I whipped it too long so it was not as smooth as I like it to be but overall . . . it was not too bad of a cake. The birthday girl seemed to enjoyed it because she ate 2 slices that night and she ate a slice every single day after that till it was all gone :o)

Alerina was really into blowing the candles out while Sebastian, as usual, did not want to blow them out . . . he just wanted to see them lit not blown out. Below are some pictures of the special occasion:
