I decided to make a birthday cake using blueberries, since that has been his favorite food. He will eat an entire container of them if I let him! After doing a google search on blueberry cake, I found a recipe that included lemon. It had four layers of blueberry lemon cake with lemon buttercream and lemon curd filling. I have learned from past stressful birthdays to start the process ahead of time, and I froze the cake before layering and decorating it. I was able to pull off a lovely ruffle pattern for the frosting, and I really loved the results!
Poor Sawyer was getting sick the day of his party. Thankfully, he did not really start showing symptoms until after his party. But I'm sure that it affected his mood, as he seemed at times a little tired and did not seem that hungry for cake :(
Overall, it was a great time and I think the perfect number of guests were here. Lance played the birthday song from Nick Junior and we all danced around. By far the favorite part for Sawyer was the balloons!
