My Mimsey is crazy. Her current favorite toy, and I use that in the very loosest definition possible, is a rock she found outside about 2 weeks ago. She calls it Baby Rock, and she feeds it, gives it baths, and puts her socks on it to keep it warm... when it's not snuggling in her pocket.
Today as we were getting ready for her birthday party, she insisted that we had to dress up Baby Rock as well. At least you can see her adorable skirt that I made. I based it, roughly, on Anna Maria Horner's Bo Peep Skirt, but alas, as I have not yet been given her book (hint, hint, husband) I had to just sort of wing it from a picture. I like it, it would be cute a little fuller, but it matched the party decorations. And her rock...
This is Mimsey's princess cake. I made it in the Williams-Sonoma Great Pumpkin cake pan, and made the wheels out of pink melting chocolate that I poured into jumbo muffin tin cups. It was the hit of the party (besides Mims!), but what can I say, my family is easily impressed. Honestly, I will just be happy if I don't see it on Cake Wrecks... isn't that sad?! :D
She got some awesome gifts from her grandparents, Aunties, Uncles, and Cousins, so she spent the rest of the day busy with her toys. And I re-discovered my love of the Smurfs (thanks Auntie Nandy and Uncle Doob!)... Oh yeah, and the balloons are all still up and look great!

I have to say that cake is IMPRESSIVE...I recently went to cake wreaks, and yours is NOT a candidate! I will not be showing my daughter a pic b/c mine would be a wreak, and to buy one of that cuteness would be $$$$$!
