On Dave's actual birthday, we made him an orange soak cake with white chocolate drizzle and fresh strawberries. It was simple, and the orange juice, butter and powdered sugar glaze seeped into the cake and made it unbelieveably moist. The kids liked poking the holes in the top and watching the glaze soak in. Dad made corned beef and cabbage and potatoes and carrots and onions... (Two days early since I had class on St. Patty's Day.
We had a nice little dinner. The kids assisted in all aspects of the cake making process. The kids worked together a week before to write a poem for their Daddy and the day of his birthday Anna labored over writing each word of it onto a homemade card. She kept having to tape pieces of paper together to add more room.Then, my Mom threw Dave a dinner party at her house. I had said I would bring the cake... and I FORGOT! Whoops... So she just stuck some candles in a round loaf of bread that she served with the delicious dinner she made. THEN we got to go on a cruise ten days after his actual birthday... and I think it is safe to say we all had a very happy David Daddy Dooley birthday! :)
