Yesterday was Dade's 2nd birthday. I have been obsessed with watching Cake Boss lately so I wanted to have fun with making Dade's cake. Well I went a little overboard but it was a lot of fun. I made a two tiered cake for the fist time, used fondant for the first time and made ganache for the first time. I learned a lot and I still have so much more to learn. The bottom tier was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry feeling. The top tier was vanilla cake with cream cheese and raspberry filling. Dade loves trains so I made a scenic view with a train track and a Thomas train cake topper. I really enjoyed making it but it took a lot of time and I hated the fondant recipe I used. The fondant tasted really good but it was hard to work with. I finished the cake right before we had dinner so it literally took me all day to do. Dade loved the cake, especially the fondant. He took a few bites of the cake then just ate the fondant off it. He got a little train, a blanket made by Grandma Raley, and a saucer chair. We had a really good day, but I just can't believe Dade is already 2.
Here is the cake I made.

Time to eat the cake.
Today is Valentine's Day so I just want to tell my wonderful husband how much I love him and how I am so grateful for him in my life. I am truly blessed for the family I have. Thank you Drew for being such a wonderful eternal spouse. You are so loving, understanding, and supportive. Thank you for being you. I love you! Hope everyone else has a great Valentine's Day!
