Birthday Central Station

-
It has been Birthday Central Station here this past week!! Last Tuesday we celebrated my Grandma's Birthday; Friday, Zachary turned 18!! And then today Chase turns 20!!!  

Today we wanted to share with you a picture of my grandmother Maxine's cake stand! It was given to her as a wedding present. It is over 50 years old and has held a lot of cakes on it over the years! 

Including this weeks cakes...  
 Grandma Pauline's Lemon Cake: 
Zachary's Dark Chocolate cake: 
And Chase's BrownSugar Cake! Chase had a special visitor on his cake - Barney!! When Chase was 2 years old, he loved Barney! He also had a fondness for wedding cakes. Not sure if he liked the tiered cake or the people on top! So we just had to tease him! heehee

As you can see... we have a lot of cake over here! 
Would anyone like a piece! ;)
