Lollipops = great shot of color and fun favor!

Martha Stewart's Tissue Paper Pom Pom How-To

Slow cooker root beer pulled pork sliders! Must do mine with Kings Hawaiian Bread & coleslaw.

Asian coleslaw - yum. Going to use pre-shredded cabbage from Trader Joes to make my life easier...

Alton Brown baked macaroni and cheese. Going to make the day before then reheat!

Technicolor continued! Maybe shades of blue and green...

Cake stands at PB, C&B, WS, Sur la table etc are upwards of $50-$70. Cost Plus World Market find for $9.99. Love it.

Zac does love his bananas! Banana Layer Cake with Mascarpone Frosting

Want a frosting that's not too sweet? Sturdy whipped cream frosting - yum!

Turns out my babe loves a good Happy Birthday chorus! We went for a crown kit from papersource vs. traditional birthday hats.

The obligatory baby handprint in the frosting. I ended up buying a cake stand from Sur La Table. Simple, white, $29. Perfect since I'll probably only use it a couple of times a year.

My cake. Vanilla cake. Carmelized banana filling. Dulce de leche topping. Cinnamon whipped frosting. It was pretty sweet - next time I'll cut smaller slices!
