We held DJ's 3rd birthday party on March 26. Earlier in the week, Eleanor had asked DJ color icing he wanted on his birthday cake, and DJ said, "Orange." Seriously?! So I kept quizzing him over the course of the week... "Do you want brown icing?" "No." "Do you want blue icing?" "No." "Do you want white icing?" "No." "Do you want orange icing?" "Yes."
Ok, orange icing it is, and it was orange icing I made.
This was cream cheese icing dyed orange with yellow and red food coloring. This icing got put on cupcakes (I admit, I cheated... it was box cake... I was fighting strep throat, so I was running out of energy in a hurry).
After I'd made the icing, I got worried. I didn't actually know if DJ would like the cream cheese icing because he hadn't had it recently enough. Luckily, DJ loves to sing "Happy Birthday" and loves cupcakes, and his cupcakes had orange icing on them that the cream cheese icing was a non-issue.
DJ enjoyed his cupcake immensely and the leftovers were just the "treat" we needed to encourage him to eat ALL of his dinner the next few nights. ::grin::
DJ received TONS of awesome gifts for his birthday, too. Everyone was so generous, and he loves all of them!
Happy 3rd Birthday!
