Happy 24th Brett!
About a month or so ago, Brett and I were talking about what he wanted for his upcoming birthay. He didn't really give me any gift ideas, but he did mention his cake. He asked, "Are you going to make me a 'special cake' like my mom always did?" Well, those are words that a new wife never wants to hear! If I am expected to do everything as well as his mom, then I'm in big trouble! I questioned Brett about his previous "special cakes!" Well, one year his mom made him a soccer ball cake and another time he got a spider-shaped cake. I kinda laughed and told him that those cakes were probably made for him when he was like 5 years old... So the conversation ended. A couple of weeks before his birthday we were talking about it again and he jokingly brought up the cake idea again. I blew him off, but not in the back of my mind!! I don't think he was ever really being THAT serious, but he brought it up more than once....While Brett was at school one day a couple days before the big celebration with his whole family, I found the perfect cake design--A BUTTERFLY!! I had to really get him for all the pressure he was putting on me!!! ha ha ha So, I took it over to my friends' house, baked it, and hurried home before he was done with class.
Luckily that night Brett had to go to work. As soon as he was out the door, I jumped in my car and ran back over to my friends house frost the cake and make the finishing touches!! I was giggling the whole time I was making it! A pink, purple, and yellow butterfly is not what this boy was expecting---AT ALL!!!I also have to tell how big of a pain he was being about his whole birthday in general! If I was out running errands or talking on the phone he was like, "what are you doing? Is it something for my birthday?!" I also noticed that he had gone on line and checked our bank account activity...when I asked him about it he said, "well, i know you shopped for me at American Eagle and Aeropostale!" Way to ruin your own birthday!! I had to laugh even though he was being a brat!! I was really excited about the cake because it was a surprise!
So, i stored it at my friends for a day, then had her take it to Brett's parents for me before we got there so I didn't have to make up some excuse to stop by her house when we headed to his parents for the get together! I brought it out of the house as his family sang Happy Birthday! His reaction was classic as you can see in this picture! I don't think he really knew what to say! Actually, he didn't believe that I made it because it turned out pretty dang cute! His whole family knew about it and the story behind the butterfly! They all got a kick out of it! He actually was very appreciative that I went through all the trouble just to make him a special cake---he didn't really think i would--especially in the form of a butterfly! Ha ha ha! That'll teach him to ever ask for a "special cake" again!

Good job Boo! That will be a birthday that both of you will always remember. You did a very nice job on the cake too. Decorating that kind of cake is a pain and takes forever! Oh, and Happy Birthday Brett!
You are so sneaky sneaky!
Nice post, that cake is classic! You are such a good wife, I don't know if I would have gone through that much trouble just as a joke. Brett struck gold when he got himself hitched to ya. I actually told him that when he was at my dad's office the other day. I told him to stop by my house for dinner (or the lack thereof) and he would appreciate you 100 times more
that is so cute, what a fun wife you are, I think you should go for ballet slippers next year :o)
