last chance

June 25, 2010

this is always a happy sticker to see.
even happier when i don't expect it and don't know what's in it.

LOOK WHAT WAS IT WAS!!!!!

with a note…

when i wrote about africa i sent a picture and link to amy butler herself.
i told her that "i thought you'd like to see how far your book went and what we did with it"
she wrote back.
she and her staff had read all my posts about africa and they were excited and wanted to DO MORE.

she asked what we needed.
i told her patterns and fabric.

she sent it.
Mallory is part of amy's staff….and so nice.
two boxes arrived.
one with patterns and books.
one with three bags of fabric!

and another encouraging note from another staff member named beth.

don't you LOVE the LOVE line even more now?!

i do.

i wish i could see the boys faces when they get this.
erin and chris are missionaries with word made flesh from nebraska, living is freetown.
they are visiting their family in the states for a few weeks and they will bring this back to the boys.

i am so happy.
i am so excited for them.
i love that amy's heart is so big.
i miss africa.

remember my post at liferearranged last week?
i wanted to be a little more clear about WORD MADE FLESH.

by donating money on that blog post the money will go to the sierra leone division of WMF.
this is a small group of people.

these are the people you are donating to.

WMF has a small staff of 11 people who work with the youth and community.
their missions statement….

"We are called to holistically care for children and young adults through discipleship, educational/vocational opportunities and family-like relationships. "

they are doing it.

they have a place to meet called the Ale' Ale' Home.

they meet with their LightHouse ministry here…for worship, fellowship, help with school work,
small group, prayer and bible study.

Light House is what they call their teen program.
the tailoring program is part of Light House.

they also run the Kroo Bay Good News Club.

they meet medical needs, physical needs as well as spiritual needs of over 250 children in Kroo Bay.

i know that YOU KNOW my heart for africa.
my heart for these faces in sierra leone.

so….i am asking again.
today.
could you give to Word Made Flesh?

if every reader gave even one dollar….that would be thousands of dollars today.
can you give one dollar?

or five?

or ten?

GO HERE TO DONATE to word made flesh today.
thank you.

thank you to all of you who gave already.
THANK YOU!
you are a blessing.

My husband can’t come (work), but for some reason I was called. I got scared then remembered two quotes that hang next to my computer in my studio. One says “OVERCOME FEAR. BEHOLD WONDER – don’t know author.” The other says “FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY! – creator of Jimmy Choo Shoes”. So, off we go. You give me guts!!! Thank you 🙂

elisabeth (bovagoods) - oh, how i love amy butler. she is so generous. i fell in love with the colors she painted her booth at market a few years back. (saw the pictures of the booth on her website.)on a whim, i emailed her to see if she would give me the paint colors. she did! her hubby emailed me back and so did she! i painted my room right up with those colors and then made a big old quilt from her belle line of fabrics. it’s nice to know she is still so very generous after all of her continued success.

rambling….and craft thursday #4

June 21, 2010

i have an opening for photos this thursday JUNE 24 at 7 PM.
any one want to take it?
—————————————————————————————-

anyone know a cheap(er) way to get photoshop? (for a Mac)
where did you buy yours?
how much was it?

—————————————————————————————-

i made julie/heather's salted caramel cupcakes last week.

i loved them.
like really loooooved them.
i didn't have the candy for the top because i forget everything when i go to the store.
and they were just as good without.

—————————————————————————————-

we went to sugar sisters last week.

we heard they may be in financial trouble so we made sure to get there at least one more time.
i had the strawberry babycake.
it was the best cupcake i have had there yet.
yum yum yum.
it will be sad if they have to close….i like it there.

did you guess that my sugar ban is over?
i am all about moderation now.
i proved that i could do with out completely….and it makes me sick now when i have had much at all.
but a taste is good.
let's hope i can keep from becoming a junkie again.
—————————————————————————————-

two of my children went to camp yesterday.
i keep thinking i forgot someone…or i need to pick someone up.
this week should be a breeze having only three to keep tabs on.

—————————————————————————————-

at the Y last week i was jogging on the track.
my iPod was on (with my rap music) at the highest volume….just the way i like it.
two ladies were walking and talking together on the track ahead of me.
i thought "i wish i was talking with my friends" as i came up on them.
they turned to me as i was passing them and smiled and said "we love your blog"
at least that is what i think they said because my headphones were blasting.
ha!

ladies….you made my day.
🙂
the rest of my run was like i floating.
thanks.

—————————————————————————————-

this is the house i grew up in.
it was a lighter yellow back then…not quite so bright.
there used to be a porch swing on the right side of the porch.
craig and i sat out there for hours.
talking.

yeah…that's it….talking.

—————————————————————————————-
craft thursday…done on a friday…posted on a monday.

we choose another project from deep space sparkle.

we made tissue paper dragons.
it was difficult to change the mindset to having a perfect dragon to a free form dragon.
i kept saying "just tear and then find a way to make that shape work somewhere."
and the mantra of "it doesn't have to be perfect…it's ART"

sean disagreed.
he would have preferred to use scissors.
but talby and annie could "see" the dragon in the shapes.

i used watered down glue and our watercolor paint brushes.
our projects are almost always done on mediumweight Sketch Pad paper…found at walmart.

when we were done i outlined them in sharpie and cut them out to hang up.

talby

sean

annie

mine

another successful craft thursday.
yay!

————————————————————————————-

on saturday morning my friend kerry had a baby girl.
and i got to photograph her birth.
it was amazing and emotional and extremely humbling to be there.
i love her family so much.

her sweet baby Kyler is in the NICU now.
will you pray for them?
God hears every prayer.
He has a plan for them and He is in control.
i am sure of that.

webcams - I will definitely visit your site more often cause I like your ideas and the information you post. free les chat live chat adult finder free free chat

Lori - A prayer for sweet Kyler-done.

crystal - Those Dragons rock! I love your Blog too!!!!

Robyn - i love this craft! so cute. i may try something similar but maybe with fish or birds.
i hope your friends baby i ok. my godson has been in and out of the nicu for a long time and its SO scary. life changing. and prayers have helped him come a long way. he has a long road still but the prayers have helped him come out of the woods!
so im adding your friends baby girl to my prayer list!

Whitney - I would suggest that you get one of the creative suites… I got Elements and was a little bored with it. I got it while I was in college and got a huge discount! Try to find someone in college who could use their ID for you! I have all of my old Id’s… I’ll just mail you a copy! 🙂
As for the sugar, I have been trying to avoid it too. I went 12 days and then had to have flourless chocolate cake-it was worth it, but also too sweet. I have been reading a book called “Potatoes Not Prozac”- it’s all about people who are sugar sensitive- very interesting and fit me to a t! I highly recommend it!
Just like the ladies walking on the track, I love your blog too!

Rachel / cREaTe - soooooooooo CUTE! LOVE that project!!!!! 🙂 and love that sean always crafts with goggles around his neck. ha!

Heather @ Cookie Mondays - Chloe got the swimsuit! And lives in it.
Financial trouble?! How can that be?! Poor Sugar Sisters 🙁

Lisa - I use PhotoShop all the time both at work and home. I always purchase my software from AcademicSuperstore.com Great prices for teachers and students! Hope this helps.

Gina - You can get the student version of photoshop because you have a student. You’ll need her to go with you and have her ID. It’s the same thing but WAY cheaper. We have it on our computer and it works fine. Not that I’d know because I have no clue how to use it…but my husband says it’s great…
If I could drive there Thursday night from Chicago, I’d take that appointment in a heartbeat. I’ll keep dreaming…

Emily B. - That was my friend Jodi and I at the Y! And we DID say that we love your blog! We were both so excited to see you. We realized that you might not have heard us and that it might have just looked like we were smiling and clapping at you as you went by! It made us laugh so hard that I let out a really loud and spastic laugh that echoed in the gym… what a goof. 🙂
I’m so glad it made your day! It made ours to see you!

kristine - sweet art!
will pray for kyler and fam. xo

Rachel - Definitely check out http://www.academicsuperstore.com/. The prices are significantly better and it’s totally legit. I use both LR and PS for editing. The workflow in LR is amazing and it’s really easy to bulk edit a bunch of pictures. Scott Kelby’s Lightroom 2 book really helped me to figure it out how to use it to it’s full potential. You can do way more with PS in terms of editing (ie. layers, masks, more brushes, tools etc). I find myself using PS more when I’m editing for clients or when I want to print something larger for myself. It’s still over my head though so I’m planning to take a PS course for photographers in the fall so I can get the most out of it.

Laura - What a lovely post. God is always in control! Isn’t it great!? I will be praying.

Courtney Walsh - I love those dragons!! How adorable! 🙂
…and I’ve always dreamed of a butter yellow house. Maybe someday…:) I’ll make sure if I have a porch swing talking is the ONLY thing done on it! hahahaha.

se7en - Those dragons are darling!!!

Laura - I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements from Amazon.com for $80-something. Adobe was having a $20 rebate (which happens occasionally). So, I got it for $60-something. I have worked on both and find Elements does exactly what I need – at a fraction of the price. I was thrilled to get such a great deal!
Good luck with your shopping!
Laura

shelly @familyblt - Great post today. I want photoshop too! I couldn’t justlfy it yet though. I want a cupcake now too. yum

tinycandi - I used the free trial of PS…but I wasn’t impressed enough to switch over from Paint Shop Pro. I have PSP Photo XI and absolutely love it. There are so many things I can do with just a click of a mouse. It’s so much more user friendly than PS. I am hoping to upgrade soon now that X3 is out. It’s so much cheaper than PS.

teresa - tell the kids i give their dragons two thumbs up! very nice!

tasha roe - bought mine with my student discount through journeyed.com huge savings!

Michelle - NOOOOO! Sugar Sister’s can’t close. That would make me so sad. I need to get there this week!

Shannon - Lots of memories in that big yellow house! I loved that house

Marie Tere - I just got the PS — $89 with $20 off, $69 wasn’t so bad.
Prayers to baby Kyler.

Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Praying for baby Kyler… please keep us updated. Thanks!

Georgia - Meg, the house you grew up in is like a dolls house!!!
Thats my dream house!!! lol
UK houses are not so picturesque as the usa. damn its unfair lol
Happy Monday!!!

jennifer - Love the photos of the cupcake shop. It looks adorable! And those dragons looks like a fun project too!
We’ve got an unused copy of PS Elements that I’d gladly barter, or just give you. 🙂 Let me just make sure I can find it! Let me know if you’re interested…

Lisa Currie-Gurney - IF WE LIVED IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, WE’D BE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. YOU KNOW, THE KIND THAT WALKS IN WITHOUT KNOCKING. GRABS COFFEE FROM THE POT WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE OFFERED. TAKES THE KIDS SWIMMING FOR THE AFTERNOON.
YEAH… THAT WOULD BE US.
HUGS FROM MAINE

KK - Those are adorable dragons! I love each of them. It is amazing how, even though people work on the same project, they all come up with their own interpretation.
I will pray for Kyler and your friend! 🙂
Have a good day!

Patty - The dragons are wonderful. Again, I impressed with how you organize your days…not easy wrangling kids to do an art project on a hot, summer day. Tell Sean that I thought his dragon was very precise, despite the fact that no scissors were used!

Nicole Q. - Love all your random thoughts . . . I think I’ll have to do the dragon craft with my boys. Looks like a fun one! Have a good with a few less kiddos.

Vera - That dragon craft is AWESOME! We are so going to do that. Will pray for your friend’s baby!

patti - what a great craft! I’m going to look at that site now to get some ideas for my kids too. i know i’ve said it before, but i’m sure it’s nice to hear: thanks so much for sharing these everyday looks into your life. i really appreciate it!
cheers to a great week!

www.Kellyloves.wordpress.com - I love the dragons. Super cute. Will def pray for Kyle!
http://www.kellyloves.wordpress.com

Kirsten - Megan, you continue to inspire and amaze, even with photos of cupcakes! Prayers and hugs for your friends and sweet new little Kyler.
And I’m jealous that your kids get to wear swimsuits – we had a softball tournament get rained out this weekend…

Amber - i don’t see where anyone has mentioned this yet…but have you ever looked at http://www.academicsuperstore.com ? i believe ps is about half price there. i haven’t actually purchased from them…but if i were to make THE splurge…i would probably go w/ them. you are supposed to meet the qualifications…but i’m sure you could order via your children’s student i.d.

susie whyte - love the dragons, love the house, love everything. 🙂
sugar sisters was broken into. my husband had to interview one of the owners after the incident. they got a little over $240. if they’re in financial crisis, it’s cause they charge $2.50 a cupcake!! 🙂 haha. if they have to close, i will be so sad. maybe they’ll have to sell their plates. i want their plates so bad. the ones with the metal rims. and the blue melmac flower plates. haha!!

tara pollard pakosta - gorgeous dragons!
we are going to have to make those!
super CUTE!
praying for the sweet baby kyler–
God will hear us all….
bless your sweet blog, it’s amazing.
tara

Amber Zimmerman - Love the craft thursdays (and fridays) posts. 🙂 I’m glad you mentioned the paper you use too. As for photoshop – I have a student version which is much cheaper. It is the same thing, just cheaper for students. I’m not sure if you could ask a student to purchase for you at a local college (someone you know?) or if that is frowned upon? Worth a check at least! 🙂
Prayers for baby Kyler!

AshleyAnn - Those are gorgeous! I am looking forward to the days my kids can do projects like that…one down 3 to go…

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Great craft. Those kids are GOOD.
I had someone recognize me at the gym the other day too. It was really surreal. I felt famous…so I get it. I think I had a goofy grin on my face the rest of the day:)
That house you grew up in was just adorable. I was just thinking the other night how I missed the days when Honey and I would just “talk” for what seemed like hours. Oh to be a youngin’ again.

Juli - Kyler and his family will be on my prayer list.
I adore those dragons and I love your childhood home. Why in the world would anyone take down a porch swing? My hubby’s HS/College yrs were in 1930’s bungalow with a front porch swing. He & I sat and “talked” plenty there. I would swing my niece, while singing her “Edelweiss” as a tiny infant on that swing, when I came home from college. That tiny “baby” got engaged this weekend!

Julie K. - Hey Megan! I LOVE your dragons. So cute.
I use Lightroom for 95% of my work and then Photoshop Elements for any detail work on occasion. It’s so much easier to navigate. The combo of the two are just perfect. But I really really LOVE Lightroom. Just my two cents.
xo ~julie

Tam - The cupcakes look devine! I would like one for breakfast! I also want to purchase PS, i’m thinking Elements is more my speed though. The dragons are wicked cool.

mom - I use PS Elements too at work. I went to a PS workshop and the elements are easier to understand. But you are the professional! It might be good to enroll in a class after you purchase it – it really did help.

Bec - I use full blown photoshop to edit my pictures and honestly, it took me almost 3 years to really come to terms with it and truly start using it to it’s potential. I still have a whole lot to learn, but I’m getting there. I would highly suggest, if you are only going to use it for photo editing, getting photoshop elements. The same controls as photoshop but not overwhelming. I wish I would have gone that route to start with.

Melanie - The cupcakes look delish. I sure whis I had one:)

Patty - Thank you for the mention of the paper you use for Craft Thursdays. Prayers for baby Kyler. Happy day to you.

Christy - Awesome dragons! The house where you grew up is so cute!

katie - i made those cupcakes too…. HEAVEN!!!

Jill - LOVE those dragons! Great work, kids! (and Meg!)

A pocket full of posies... - Covering baby Kyler with many, many prayers!!! (and new mommy and daddy too!)
Many Blessings!
Jill

Amy Cygan - I have lightroom. Really easy learning curve and can export to photoshop if more editing needs to be done. It does a lot. It’s inbetween elements and photoshop as far as what it can do.
I got mine through acedemic superstore. If have to fax/email student report card/ proof of student, and you’ll get a great price. I’ve ordered several times from there. Think about Adobe lightroom. e-mail me if you got questions really. Amy paris626@earthlink.net
I have a dslr and been using lightroom since it’s first version. I do have CS3 but hardly use it.

kat - said a prayer for your friend 🙂
the dragons are cute !

Michelle - The dragons are awesome! Those cupcakes are on my list to make… I just need an occasion.

the road less traveled - two words for your photoshop question…
e bay.
🙂
love the tissue dragons.
and your childhood home~ lovely.

Kimberlee J. - We hit sugar sisters this weekend too. They made Ella’s birthday cupcakes. 🙂

Jodi - Yes, the best way to purchase PS for a MAC is to buy the student version at the Apple Store. Take in your high school daughter, have her show her student ID, and voila, it’s yours for a fraction of the cost. Whoops…hope I don’t get in trouble for telling you that. Mine is a bootleg from a friend of a friend. I LOVE it.
The dragon tissue project is perfect!

Sally Mangham - In regards to photoshop! Have you considered Photoshop Elements? I have been asking a dear friend of mine who runs a tech/imagining business and he suggested that I look at Photoshop Elments because he said if you haven’t ever learned Photoshop it’s a great start with the same editing advantage. Also, I recently discovered an online wk shop — http://everydayelementsonline.com/ . I purchased mine at Fry’s Electronics.
If you decided that you have enough experience and are ready to purchase Photoshop here is a great link http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/80-best-photoshop-text-effects-tutorials-part-iii/
Good luck! Sally M.

Gemma - Hi Meg,
Those cupcakes look yummy! Might have to give them a try. Loved your craft Thrusday/Friday.
Gemma X

Kevyn - I made those same cupcakes from Julie’s blog- for my husband for part of his father’s day. HE LOVED THEM. He is not a cupcake person but thought these were awesome. Love your blog! 🙂

Catriona - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. My husband and I have an annual rewatch of all 3 films every winter. Visually, it is absolutely stunning and I love all the manly heroics!! Of course there are other favourites, but in terms of the impression these films made on me the first time I saw them and how much I look forward to watching them again, this is probably It.

Lisa T - I love the movie 27 Dresses…the Benny and the Jets part cracks me up every time!

I really love any Andy Garcia movie…Bruce Willis comes in a close second.

Dawn Eshnaur - My favorite movie of all time is The Sound of Music!!

Liz - I grew up as a missionary kid, so I missed all the 80’s/90’s movies. I am workin’ on catching back up…and for now, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is my fave. Love it.

Katie - About Last Night…It is the cheesiest 80’s movie ever, but I love it!!

Liz - Depends on the time in my life. When I was little, it was Charlotte’s Web. In high school, it was 10 Things I Hate About You. In college, a toss up between Shag (a great coming of age film) and My Best Friends Wedding. Now I love Dan In Real Life , hoping it will prepare me for dealing with teenagers with some measure of grace. Ha.

Alice Nakles - I love movies so much, this is very hard to pick. Maybe Beetlejuice or What about Bob, I love them both so much.
Thanks for other give away.

kristine - i don’t think my comment posted???
my fave movie is CLUE!
i’ll check again later to see if it’s really up there somewhere else so i don’t repeat myself any further… 🙁

Rachel - Its so hard to choose just one…I’d have to say Almost Famous…when Tangerine plays at the end when the bus is driving off into the sunset…love it!!! Rock stars have kidnapped my son!

kristine - O.M.G. meg (megan!) i’m number 827 for leaving a comment! my fave is the movie CLUE!!!!!! 🙂 have you ever seen it?!

AND i did buy a christmas present from erin last year thanks to you! i know others try to imitate but she does the best work i think! 🙂

Heather K. - We love “The Princess Bride” in our house. Every once in a while my husband will say, “as you wish” when I ask him to do something. It always makes me smile because I know it means “I love you”.

Tierknee2000 - Braveheart or any old musical!

Rachel - Oh man, favorite movie? Sooo hard to narrow it down. I think I’d pick BBC’s North & South. Swoon, swoon!

Since reading about the Vintage Pearl on here I have shown DH and told him I want a necklace from there with his and the kids names on it for my 40th. I am getting in early as its still two years away 😉
Not sure what the exchange rate is though as we are in Australia.
Hm, favourite film. Oh thats such a hard question Meg.
So many, but I think The Shawshank Redemption is a great movie.

Alma Barrera - Dirty Dancing, just want to make me dance!

Tiffany - The Holiday.
It’s my default movie. Watch it when I’m in the mood for a good laugh, cry, when I am sad, happy. It’s great 🙂

Laura Mann - Hi Meg! My family’s all time favorite movie is (I know it sounds CRAZY) chitty chitty bang bang. It’s the most purest heartfelt message ever. My 2.5 year old does one of the dance numbers (ole bamboo) that would break your heart. And it’s so precious that they call the dad Bert because they can’t quite grasp his move from Mary Poppins. My husband and I haven’t seen “real” movies for awhile because of the kiddos so this is our favorite family movie. And I thought Annie would like it if she hasn’t already seen it!
Thanks,
Steve,Laura,Kate, and Drew

Rachael B - My favorite movie of all time is The Illusionist! My mom gave it to me as a gift for valentine’s day two years ago and it has been my favorite ever since!

Shelley Paden - Hands down for my little family is FIREPROOF with Kirk Cameron. We were very reluctant to go see it as we were having a rough patch in our 16 year marriage due to financial stressess. But…I felt like God was calling us to be brave and go. So..I got a sitter for our boy, made reservations at Jack In the Box (insert laughter)and when he came home from work I surprised him with our first date night in 18 months. That night changed our marriage forever. The movie simply convicted both of us and that night we asked God to make our marriage like it was in the early days where we worked at showing each other daily how much we loved each other. I can truly tell you that today I feel like I have a CRUSH on my man…he and I both make serving one another instaed of expecting or complaining about what we feel dissapointed in each other about…the stuff that when you really look at it is quite stupid, selfish and temporal.Ig we were to win the gift certificate, I would have a piece that says FIREPROOF as a daily reminder of how much I adore my husband and that we went through the fire and made it through to the other side with God’s help and cutie patootie Kirk Cameron too….God Bless!!!

It has never failed to make me laugh AND it is a movie I can sit down and watch with my hubby. There aren’t many movies that we will both sit down and watch over and over… together. 🙂 Tommy Boy is one of those. So is Uncle Buck. I’d say it comes in a at a close 2nd.

Karen - love this post today- love reading how much you love your hubby- inspires me to keep loving mine even more than I already do! My favorite movie of all time is Anne of Green Gables- I don’t care if that seems lame- it’s one of the only movies I can still see over and over again and not get bored. I think it just brings back a lot of good childhood memories for me. Hoping I win as I adore Erin’s stuff and would love to proudly wear my kiddos names!

Michelle - My favorite movie is Good Will Hunting…..how do you like them apples? =)

Kim K. - The Proposal. Love that movie! (I can also watch Napoleon Dynamite over and over 🙂

MaryAZ - “The Quiet Man” W/ John Wayne….I don’t usually like his movies, but this one is set in Ireland & I watch it every St. Patrick’s Day. It makes me laugh & cry & want to travel over there to learn some family history!

Jennifer - Princess Bride! Never gets old.

Alex - Sense and Sensibility, directed by Ang Lee.

pambuller - Return to Me. 🙂

Emily - Fave movie is Little Women…old school with Elizabeth Taylor

I have so many other favorite movies – but Grease is my ALL-TIME favorite!

Meredith Salmon - My favorite movie is “Say Anything” I watched it so many times in college that we broke the tape twice. I now have it on DVD. The part where Lloyd holds the radio up outside her window and plays “In your eyes” by Peter Gabriel is the best. My husband and I used that as our wedding song and it is timeless. I still hear it on the station I listen to everyday at work and it is pop radio. “She broke up with me and gave me a pen”. “You must chill. You must chill.” “I am looking for a dare to be great situation.” Love it!!!!

Julie - You’ve Got Mail is the best!!

Monica - Love Actually. Makes me laugh, cry, smile, and shout in a two-hour window!

Emily - The Blindside. I hate watching movies more than once, but I watch it at least once a week…and I cry EVERY TIME!

Alyssa - I do not know the exact line but I can tell you the scence. It is from Wedding Crashers and Vince’s character just had the worst night ever. ..If you saw the movie the quote is not as Horrific as it sounds……
Jeremy Grey: I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night.
John Beckwith: Soft mattress?
Jeremy Grey: Yeah, it could have been the soft mattress. Or the midnight rape. Or the nude gay art show that took place in my room. One of those probably added to the lack of sleep.

(Oh, that sounds wierd. Hope you’ve seen the movie.) Anyway, their parents are arguing and they’re arguing and it just seemed so impossible. Hah! Some times we watch it on our anniversary and giggle a bit at how naive we were almost 10 years ago. 🙂

“There is no crying in baseball!”

Kait - Before kids I liked serious movies like The Shawshank Redemption. But now that I’m a mom, I watch too many kids movies to have any serious favorites so I’m going to have to say Madagascar 2. My kids watch it at least twice a week and I still laugh the whole time.

Jessica - I love your blog – read it everyday. We love movie quotes around here. Don’t laugh – my favorite movie is You’ve Got Mail. So quotable! “A hot dog is singing. You need quiet while a hot dog is singing?” hahaha

Ashlee Archibald - my favorite movie of all time is where the heart is. I dont know why, but the accents, the cheesy, and how silly it is gets me everytime. I read the book every summer too. I could always go for some Little Mermaid too. That’s a childhood favorite 🙂 🙂

the inadvertent farmer - Princess Bride…as you wish!
Who doesn’t want to be a princess called ‘Buttercup’!

Kari - Dirty Dancing!!! Classic.

Jen Joy - I’m suprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but my favorite movie of all time is Say Anything. I remember watching it for the very first time, convinced that there was nothing more romantic in the whole wide world than a man who was willing to stand with a boom box over his head in the pouring rain just to prove his love. (And I still have a little crush on John Cusack, truth be told.)

Deb - I like Dirty Dancing and Forrest Gump

Michelle B. - Very tough…very tough. But, I love to laugh and “What About Bob” has to be one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen…and therefore, my fav!

“Hey MacCormick! When this hat flies in the air, you better have your butt in gear.”

Kelsey - I am a big fan of Pretty Woman.

Janelle - Well I actually just got an e-mail that my father’s day key chain is on it’s way…I ordered it a few weeks ago! I put my husband’s name in the middle and then my name as well as our four kids all around.
My all time favorite movie is Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. My husband thinks this is a very lame choice of a favorite movie but it is just so darn cute and makes me laugh every time. It makes me remember that it is the simple things in life that are important 🙂

Mallory - It is sooo hard to pick only one favorite — but it would have to be The Holiday — just makes me melt… Love the gift for Craig!

Amy - I have SO many favorite movies….but my current is P.S. I Love You. I bawl every.single.time. 😉

Andrea - Patch Adams

Allison S. - There are so many that I love…Chocolat is definitely up there on the list. I tend to watch it whenever I need a lift…little French town, beautiful colors, mouthwatering chocolate & Johnny Depp. That’s difficult to beat, don’t you think?

summer - Gone with the Wind…so cliche I know, but I am just so in love with that movie, or A Street Car Named Desire. hmmm, maybe it’s my love affair with the south (moving to Alabama may not be so bad). Love your love necklace 🙂

Sheila P. - The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore is a favorite – it’s cheesy and sweet at the same time. I laughed, I cried. 🙂

mary - oh i have ordered from erin before i love her stuff!
i have two favorite movies of all time
total opposite spectrums too
the sound of music …and ….jaws
i’m a gemini i am allowed hahaha

sarah - What a nice giveaway 🙂
My favorite movie has always been Bed of Roses.

Bec - I usually give one from each genre because there is just no way I could ever pick just one. But if I really have to, it comes down to The Sound of Music. I can sing every word to every song and it always manages to make me smile. I love Julie Andrews!

Sara - Pretty Woman. Vintage Pearl would totally make me feel like a PRETTY WOMAN! 🙂
Sara

jenna - Anything with Jennifer Garner or James McAvoy…
Penelope is in top 5.

Jenn Shock - If I have to pick just one….I’d say Office Space. LOVE that movie.

Megan - My favorite movie is The Sound of Music. I love it!

kimberly - favorite movie of all time – for years it was the 1995 bbc “pride and prejudice” but it’s possible it changed once “finding neverland” came out in 2004. but it’s still between those 2.

Tiffany - Christmas Vacation…or The Hangover…or Pretty Woman…I obviously have lots of favorites!

Aimee - I love the Vintage Pearl. I went there and bought a necklace after you first posted your meg and craig necklace. Actually I had my husband buy it for me for our anniversary.

Two of my top favs are Dirty Dancing and So I Married an Ax Murderer.

Amy James - I have to say Steel Magnolias is my favorite. For years it was Valley Girl but now that I am in my 40’s I think Steel Magnolias is more appropriate. 🙂

Diane Pierce - It’s hard to pick because there are so many great movies. But the remake of Father of the Bride. Love it!
Thanks!!!

Amy Lockhart - I love the movie Elf, such great comedy, but my all time favorite would be… Pretty Woman. LOVE that movie, love the lines that came out of it, “WOOOWOOOWOOWOO!” and yes I just did the one arm motion when I tried to spell that out. (good thing no one was watching!)

stephanie - The Holiday!!!

Angie - Tommy Boy!

Julie - I have to go with Dirty Dancing!!! One of the all time best movies ever! 🙂

Jill R. - You’ve got mail – love it!

sarajane - the princess bride. great movie!

Annette - Great gobs of goodness…hope I win this one!!! My favorite movie is “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”…I am a total sucker for the Old West, good tunes and happy endings.

Janel - The Sound of Music! How do you solve a problem like Maria? I really don’t think she’s a problem at all because I love her!

jenn groves - Top Gun! back when Val Kilmer use to be hot and the shirtless volleyball scene never gets old :o)
my husband flys for the Navy, and at our wedding my bridesmaids sang him the Righteous Brothers song (you’ve lost that love and feeling). Good Times!

amy - It’s an old one… Baby Boom with Diane Keaton. I love the keychain.

Lara - My favorite is Steel Magnolias. “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion”. SO many great lines in that movie. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway! I adore The Vintage Pearl. Have a great week. 🙂

Jennifer Brown - I love the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Always have, always will 🙂 I am a big fan of Elf though too!

Terri - I have so many favorites but one of them is Under the Tuscan Sun. Just a clean, enjoyable movie that gives me warm fuzzies. I read the Vintage Pearl blog all the time and pick out my favorite pieces from her selection. Someday, I will be selfish and buy myself a something.

ann - I know many people think it’s dumb but I never laughed so hard at “Napolean Dynamite”…. The thought of Uncle Rico and feeding Tina still makes me chuckle.

Kara Kristin - The Burbs with Tom Hanks, we watch it over and over!

Christine Ishmael - My all time favorite movie that we all quote constantly even though the movie is way old and noone else “gets” what were laughing/talking about is “So I Married An Axe Murdurer”…just saying it in my head makes me giggle thinking about Mike Meyers wee Scottish accent! “I juice everything” and “the colonel puts an addictive chemical in his chicken, I crave for it nightly” is another favorite quote! I’d love to get that key chain for my hubby…will it fit all six children’s names on it? Thanks for the chance to win!

Ashley - It’s hard to choose just one, but I love the movie Big Fish!

Linn - Sleepless in Seattle! I am from Seattle and married to a military man. When I was living overseas and he was deployed, I would watch this movie over and over missing home and missing my best friend!

shelly - I’ve done that with my coffee pot too!
My favorite movie is Life is Beautiful–who knew you could laugh and cry so hard at the same time!?

Stephanie - The Breakfast Club!

Joy Cronauer - The Wizard of OZ!

Lisa - My favorite is Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock, come to think of it, I love any movie with her in it! 🙂

Stephanie - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!! The original, just magical!! Awesome giveaway, thanks so much!!

Betsy - Hard choice for favorite, especially with just one cup of caffeine in my system. But, speaking of Elf, we personally believe in Buddy’s food groups, “Candy, maple syrup, …..”

Lori McDonough - My fave would definitely be It’s a Wonderful Life. Everything about it is perfection. The best part is that my family has a tradition of watching it together…TOGETHER {with 2 teenagers that is a magical feat!}every Christmas Eve. Secretly i hope they will continue this tradition with their families someday!

craft thursday #3

June 11, 2010

the kids were very excited to do this project.
annie requested we wait until she got home from her friend's home to start craft thursday.
we did.
and we gained another friend for craft thursday.

today's project was from Deep Space Sparkle
another fabulous blog FULL of great art for children.

they drew castles.
first with pencil then sharpie.
then painted with watercolor.

they were very detailed.
talby said "i think this is the best picture i have ever made…i am going to hang it in my room!"

sean kept saying "mine is made out of brimstone!"
??
i don't know if that is a real thing….or just from stories?
ha.

genius!
a rainbow castle!
pure dreaminess.
and of course she said "i am going to give it to ms. kristin!"

did you notice i don't require shirts for craft thursday?

annie's castle with drawbridge.
the most colorful castle ever to be made…i am sure of it.
(oh…i drew her sun and hills for her because she asked me to)

sean's castle.
he worked so long on the drawing…the shade moved off the table and he was getting hot.
he had a friend over and was ready to swim…so he didn't quite finish.
but i like his red dragon sneaking in the right side.

talby's castle…sitting in the sunny snowcapped mountains…with a speedboat in her moat.

i loved this craft.
i wished i had made one too.
but the table was full.

happy weekend everyone.
i'll be back on monday!

Amber - maybe you have posted this elsewhere…but are you buying special watercolors? the color your kids are getting out of them are amazing. granted i generally buy the cheaper watercolors…but my kids pictures always look watered down. (maybe cause they’re 2 & 4 and haven’t mastered water colors yet!)

Patty - Your kids did a great job with their castles! It looked as though they really enjoyed the process, sticking with it and adding all those special details. Well done!

Gemma - I love it! I love water colours! I love rainbow castles! I love your blog 😀
Gemma X

tara pollard pakosta - I just saw this craft in an art book I bought, I think that’s where I saw it anyway LOL!
LOVE IT!
GREAT artists! WE are doing Art every Thursday this summer too, thanks for the motivation!!!!!!!!!!
took pix to put up too and have to do that today!
tara

Staci - Seriously….those are some SUPER drawings!!!!!! Frameable FOR SURE!!!!!! Awesome! I can’t draw worth a hoot….so I am super impressed by the imaginations of your kids 😉

angela conklin - I want to come to craft Thursday! You do really fun things with your kids. I hope when they are mad at you, they remember these days!

www.Kellyloves.wordpress.com - oh, i forgot how much i love watercolors!!
http://www.kellyloves.wordpress.com

Beth - I love that and I love Deep Space Sparkle too!! She has such good ideas. That is very cool that you are committed to doing art with your kids each week! That is one of the last things I told my classes the last week of school — have a good summer, DO ART, go to the art museum in Wichita(it’s free on Saturdays!!!)and also the Carriage Factory gallery in Newton. You rock.

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Those are great. I’m off to check out that site:)

Kathi - I am loving your Craft Thursdays! Wish I had thought of this when DD was younger. She was quite the little artist and I could have challenged her more. Alas, now she’s a teen and I get, “art, Mom? really?” along with rolled eyes, a huffy puff, and a quick exit. I dream of the phone call in a few years begging for help!

Tara - love this…gonna copy cat you again and make my kids do it!

Sophie - Such a cute craft and all the kids did so well! (:
Though I expect it’d be just as fun for us adults as it was for them!

dear diary,

May 7, 2010

this post is going to ramble on and on…with many links.
you have been warned.

i am feeling quite talkative today.
let's start with this:
1. Francesca's

it's my new favorite store.
they had THE BEST jewelry.
my friend kim took me there after she read about it on PW.
i loved it.

2. i saw that there is a 50% off gift certificates sale at MyPublisher now through mother's day.
that is a great deal!
i think i will buy myself some gift certificates. :)

3. i received a book in the mail yesterday.
it was sent to me from the publisher…

by request of maxwell gillingham-ryan.
????
cool.
IT IS AN AWESOME BOOK!

i love it.
it is kind of like a super beautiful stylish ikea catalog.
is that insulting?
i hope not.
the point is small spaces….kind of like ikea.
the book is full of unique artsy rooms.
i am thrilled to own it.
it comes out May 11.

4. we are moving right along on the dining room.
the wallpaper is all gone and we will begin painting today.

5. i am a guest blogger today.
and because i am a total ding dong…it's the same post.
i was asked to do it by two people on the same day.
and somewhere over the course of the week i made them into the same person.
(melissa and erin ARE very similar names….right?)
so i only wrote one post.
duh.
they are both great sites….very different sites.
but both have the same post today.
my fault.
but go read them anyway!

320 * Sycamore and today's mama

Why am I leaving this comment, I’m not sure. I hope it is not offensive.
And your dining room project is totally amazing…when you are done with that, feel free to come here, fix up our house and take pictures of my kids. 🙂

On another note, we made your stuffed shells the other night and loved them. Keep sharing recipes that you use to feed that big family of yours. I’m going to need them with another boy on the way!

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - That is quite an honor! Now I’m off to check out all your links. Happy Mother’s day Meg:)

Shar - The guest posts were so awesome. I got tears in my eyes just from the emotion. Enjoy those kids because it goes by way too fast. Now, I am a grandmother and it is going by way too fast. Happy Mother’s Day to someone who appears to be a #1 Mom!

Michelle - Can’t wait to see the dinning room. I showed my hubby the pic of the pipe from your post earlier this week. . . he told me this morning he woke up in a cold sweat last night dreaming about finding the same pipe in our house. ha! Totally different subject. . . but every time I see the commercials for the McGruger movie I think of you. . . . wonder if it will be as funny?

Queen Bee - Oh Meg, THANK YOU for the MyPublisher link!!! I get emails from them but delete them after a half glance. I use them to make a coffee table book every year of my daughter’s life. I wait until they have a BOGO or a B1Get-One-1/2-Off sale, and give a copy to my mom for Christmas. Combine those sales with this gift certificate savings and I’m in savings heaven!! Thank you!!!!!! I LOVE MyPublisher!

mel - I love Apartment Therapy, that book looks neat!
And, your chandelier is gorgeous!

Stefanie - My mom always made my cakes, it would have to be the incredibly awesome Holly Hobbie cake…old school!!

Jennifer DeLosSantos - On my 12th birthday, I had a giant sleepover. We had cheeseburgers, followed by a round cake decorated as a cheeseburger. It had cheese, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, everything!

Lifeoflinz.wordpress.com - Most memorable cake? The one my mom and little sister made for my 13th birthday party. Horse head shaped, freehand cut, and decorated beautifully with gumdrop flowers in her mane.

Sheryl - Mine was a SMURF cake! I had (I think my 8th) birthday at Skatetown USA! How 80’s is that??!! I also remember getting a set of the markers that smell. 😉

icitea - a dairy queen frozen strawberry cheesecake ! It took foreve to finish, but it was the best cake I ever had!

Naomi Williams - My mom would always make something yummy…it wasn’t always fancy, but it always had flair and tasted great and was made to share with a lot of friends I got to have over.
I remember she once made a “cake” by arranging twinkies in the shape of my age, but I don’t remember how I old I was that year…maybe there’s a picture floating around somewhere…I should find out!

Kathi - When I was 27 and pregnant with my second child my husband had a surprise birthday party for me and had a cake decorated with a cartoon like pregnant woman on it to announce the event to our families.

Nikki in Austin - For my 8th or 9th birthday, I picked out a cake that looked like a giant chunk of swiss cheese with plastic mice popping through the holes. Although, the actual cake didn’t have the cute little mice like in the picture at the baker, they turned out to be vicious plastic RATS. Gross. I was strange.

Laura - Aw, I love that necklace! My mom made a lamb for my Nursery Rhymes 5th birthday. It was for Mary Had A Little Lamb. She went all out and did so many of the nursery rhymes for my party, but everything was handmade. We had so much fun. That was the most memorable birthday, and the cake was made with love.

Jenny - I can’t remember a favorite cake, but my mom always made a two layer cake of whatever flavor and icing we wanted. I usually chose chocolate cake with chocolate frosting….yeah, I know, not too imaginative. =)

Tara - I wish I could remember the birthday cakes from growing up, but there isn’t really a one that stands out. I’ve had more fun making them for my kids… and my favorite one is the RAINBOW CAKE I made for my daughter’s “Wizard of Oz” themed party… coming full circle to that necklace. OMG.. it’s stunning.. and an ever present reminder of the fun of all that creative time! (I’ve since had twins, and now we live off of Costco cakes that I’ve decorated the top of… ). I’d LOVE to win it!!

Heather - For some reason I don’t remember my birthday cakes, except one year. I decided I wanted pie instead of cake, so Mom made a homemade pie. I loved it, but missed having real cake. So, I never chose pie again!

Katie - Definitely a barbie doll cake(s). I think I had two one year – one made by my Grandma and another from an aunt!

Christy Burgess - My favorite birthday cake as a kid had to be the Barbie cake. You know the one, the one where it is a doll head and torso and cake for her dress. I was obsessed with Barbie as a child. My oldest daughter had a similar Barbie cake for her 5th birthday. Luckily, this one came with a full size Barbie. She loved it. Today, strawberry cake with cream cheese icing is my favorite!

Jill - Well, I don’t remember any particular cake but…i do remember a rockin’ layered jello-y thing that looked a lot like that necklace. It was the seventies you know! ;D

kristin - okay, i might just go buy one of those….or a sub sandwich one…but i can also tell you the most memorable cake was a puppy my mom made me…maybe it was most memorable because we never got sugar as a kid and this was REAL SUGAR!!!
: )

Sophie - How cool is that necklace!!!
My most memorable cake was when I was 7 I think. My mum made me a gingerbread house cake and covered the tray it sat on with green jelly grass. Surrounding the grass were pink and white sugar mice with string tails which she had painstakingly made… Given that this was in the early 80s in Pakistan, it was a pretty stirling effort by mum!! Its also the only cake I actually remember so it was obviously a big hit!!

elizabeth - we would have just cake in a 9×13 pan with some homemade frosting on it. Usually wasnt even taken out of the pan and put on a platter or anything. It was so good. Never fancy but always made with love. Tomorrow is my bday so maybe I will make one for our family

Lauren - My very first birthday cake was a bear. Nothing’s been able to top it yet!

Rachel - O.k this is so sad but I never had these really great birthday cakes for myself. I was raised by my single dad and when he made a cake, it was just the cake. Not any cutesy decorations. Not even any frosting. Isn’t that too bad? He is a great dad though and that’s just how I grew up, with no frosting, a plain ol’ cake.
Now I do things differently with my kiddos. It was pretty fun when I made a fairy cake for my 5 year old and while cutting into it I asked her “do you know what happens when there’s a fairy on a cake?” (of course she didn’t) “It turns into a rainbow!” And of course the cake was a rainbow! Soooo fun!!!
I’d love to win!

Rebecca - I remember my mom making a Barbie birthday cake when i was little. The cake was her dress and she made it really fancy with icing. Another favorite birthday cake was a DELICIOUS chocolate cake with white chocolate cream cheese icing that a friend of mine surprised me with my senior year of high school. We had a choir concert on my birthday, and during our warm up she snuck up behind me with the cake while the whole choir started singing happy birthday! So sweet!

Molly - Cupcakes!!!

Ashlie - My aunt went to church with a lady that was a professional baker and always got her to make my birthday cakes. I had several neat ones but my two most favorite and memorable ones were a cake in the shape of Alf and another in the shape of a ’57 Chevy, turquoise! I was going through a vintage car phase for some reason. 🙂 I love that necklace, too sweet!!

Felicia - I had a Snoopy Carvel ice cream cake for my 3rd or 4th birthday and I still remember that cake. And I still love Carvel ice cream cakes!

Amber - My grandma made me a money cake, where there were hidden coins in the cake. I am assuming the coins were washed, and we were old enough that it wasn’t a choking hazard…..lol

Jocelyn - My 6th birthday… A Scooby Doo cake. I LOVED Scooby Doo!!

jeanne - That cake necklace is CRAZY…so perfectly you!!! I love the Crazy Love book. I am still working through it. Some of the answers to your questions were killing me and the wedding photos were so sweet. When I was growing up everyone had cake in the basement of the church. Do you think we can talk our children into that and save tons of money??

kristine - dude that necklace is AWESOME! so perfect for you! i don’t remember this cake because it was my second birthday but i LOVE the pictures. it was strawberry shortcake (the character) and looks so fun and delicious! i don’t think i could ever decorate like my mom!

Carol J - Favorite Birthday Cake was an Angel Food Cake with Glazed Frosting and those hard, candied Happy Birthday letters and Candle holder decorations that were popular back in the 50’s.

Beth - Oops, and my favorite b-day cake was . . . well it’s not a cake, but my mom made those little airplane treats for me to take to school on my birthday when I was in kindergarten, with a rubberband and life savers? That was awesome. My favorite cake for my own kids was the purple crayon cake I made for our oldest’s first birthday . . because Harold and the Purple Crayon is my favorite book. Ask your kids what Mrs. Burns’ favorite color is. I’ll bet they can tell you!!!

Beth - I would seriously love this. I do polymer clay. If I don’t win, could I please look at yours? I’d love to see it more up close and personal 🙂

Emily - I never had a most memorable cake in the decorating side, but it was a homemade cinnamon cake to die for…

Melanie - I was about 8 and totally into horses. My mom made a sheet cake and iced a horse on it. It was awesome. You rock mom!

jenn groves - I think it was my 8th birthday. My grandparents, from Germany, were visiting. My Omi Anne made a black forest german chocolate cake from scratch to celebrate my big day (which happens to fall on the day after Christmas). Everyone ranted and raved about this “wonderful” cake, except for me! European cakes and pastries typically aren’t super sweet like they are here in the states; but the super sweet is what I love! hello i was 8, bring on the white cake and butter cream frosting!!! my mom still talks about that cake to this day. About how hard Omi Anne worked on the cake, all day and how I wouldn’t even eat a piece of it! Did I mention that I am an only child ;o) (BTW, I am much more appreciative in my ‘old’ age)

Lori - One year my mom made me a present cake-complete with fruit roll ups as the ribbon 🙂

Haydee - My favorite birthday cake was one that was made by 7 yr daughter. Don’t worry , I helped to put it in the oven.

Heather R. - That IS the perfect necklace for you! I remember my 4th birthday cake being my favorite…Raggedy Ann cake. I got to sit on the table and hold it up to the camera. I think the flashbulb was a cube that spun around(how funny is THAT!). 🙂 ~Heather R.

Jenna Baum - Mine was a DQ ice cream cake! Yummy! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

Michelle Whitlow - that necklace is ADORABLE!!! I don’t really have a memorable cake but my most memorable birthday was at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor. Not sure if they were all over or not, I was living in MI at the time. I don’t remember much about the party other than I had fun. Kids didn’t have big birthday parties every year back then (or at least I didn’t) so it was very memorable!

Ashley Chandler - Mine has got to be the bear cake from my 9th or 10th Birthday. My mom had paid a friend to make it and was keeping it in the garage because it was a surprise. When she finally went to bring it in she dropped it top down on the garage floor. It had only been covered with foil so it was ruined. She felt so bad that I wasn’t even upset and tried to make her laugh about the whole thing. I think we ended up with a grocery store cake. My mom always worked so hard to make our special days special so the time when it didn’t work as planned is unforgettable.
I made the rainbow cake a couple of months ago for my daughter’s 4th Birthday. She and I would probably fight over who got to wear the necklace each day!

Mary Beth - I was born in 1952 and the only cake I remember was a chocolate roll with ice cream rolled up in it…I don’t even know if it was homemade! I had a party and one of the little friends got scared and her mama had to come get her and take her home. Other than that, it was a good 5th birthday! Basically any cake with ice cream involved is my favorite! That little necklace is adorable! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Robyn Farmer - My mom made cupcakes for me to bring to school and she made them the night before. I brought them to school the next morning and when the whole class bit into the cupcakes there were ants inside all of them. I was humiliated!!! We lived in the country and I guess they got in there overnight without leaving a trail. That following weekend my mom made a huge barbie house cake and my devastation was redeemed.

lauralee - My mom’s famous sour cream cake is what her 7 children all request for anyone’s birthday still.
I love the rainbow one as an art teacher, I must have one!!
take care.

Emma - My 17th Birthday Cake. It was an Alice in Wonderland theme so we made a Mad Hatter cake. It was four layers, each with a different flavor. One was vanilla, another was chocolate, strawberry, and fun-fetti. We cut it so that it tilted. Each layer also had a different color icing. Then we decorated it with trim and edible glitter.

sarah - I remember almost all of my birthday cakes b/c, frankly, cake is one of my most favorite things in the whooooooole wide world. However, my most memorable cake was also my first flourless chocolate cake. My family and I were celebrating my 11th birthday on vacation in Quebec, so the cake was dessert after an amazing French meal. The entire restaurant sang to me in English but most of the people there had fantastic French accents! It was wonderful.

Amanda Kay - Second Birthday. My mom made me a mickey mouse cake. His ears where two round cake not to mention the actual face of mickey…it was huge and awesome!

Shawnette - Love that necklace! My favorite was a rainbow brite cake from the bakery.

Meg - First of all…I think you are such an awesome lady! Plus…we have the same name so that makes me feel SO much cooler. My favorite birthday cake was for my 5th birthday. It was just an ordinary rectangle bakery cake that my mom bought and had my name written on…pretty standard. We went to the park that year for a big family picnic on my birthday and while we were all swimming in the river, a seagull landed on my cake and left little bird footprints. My mom was so worried that I was going to be so upset by it but i remember thinking that it was so funny that i had a seagull land on my cake. By far my favorite! I think my mom might even have a picture somewhere.

Tonya - an icecream cake made by my 4 year old son and my husband. sooooo sweet.

Lauren - My most memorable cake was a “teal velvet” cake that my mom made….I love red velvet cake and I love teal, so it was the perfect combo 🙂
This is the cutest necklace in the world!

Angie - I had a Dukes of Hazard Birthday Cake when I turned 5. I loved it!

Summer - I have to win this!!!!!!! I made this very Birthday cake for my daughter’s 8th birthday last month!!!!!! Awww, how sweet.

Melissa V. - Not sure what birthday, but my mom made me a Holly Hobbie cake. It was awesome.

Rachel - The year I turned 14 (in February) my parents let me get my ears pierced for Christmas. My birthday rolled around at just the time I could take out my start studs. So then I had an EARRING birthday and everyone brought me only earrings for presents. I had an ice cream cake and my dad decorated it with a picture of my face with earrings on my ears. It was a great birthday!

Jen - I think my most memorable cakes are the ones I’ve had since we were married. I am not a huge cake lover so my sweet husband always gets me a HUGE Hershey bar and puts one candle in it. I LOVE it. And I LOVE the necklace!

Lauren Byrne - My fav cake was the rainbow cake I just made for my daughter’s 3rd bday party. She LOVES rainbows and you provided me the perfect cake. People still can’t stop talking about it!
And it actually turned out like yours! You can see it here. http://homes1ck.blogspot.com/2010/04/rainbow-fun.html
Thanks for the awesome inspiration. (I’m a friend of Jess’s). =)
Lauren

Erin Kirby - hi meg!
thanks for the giveaway!
my favorite birthday cake was the first one i could remember, my third birthday cake. german chocolate cake with coconut pecan icing. mmmmm.
i want some now.
i guess pregnancy hormones will do that to ya!

seb - My favorite cake was my Big Bird cake made by the cake lady at our church. I thought it was so fancy!

Kelly O. - it’s not really the cake that I remember so much as my mom would wrap quarters in saran wrap and insert them in the sides of the cake before icing…
everyone that came to my birthdays knew to eat carefully 🙂
and they’d go home with $$!
it was win win–have your cake and $$ too!

Elise - Shaped like a turtle. 🙂 The shell was rounded and everything. It was so awesome! Even better? It was for my sweet 16. So girly, right?

Christina - That rainbow cake is too fantastic!
My favorite cake was always a chocolate pound cake that a woman at our church made for me every year because she knew that I loved it. It was sooo good. I don’t think I let anyone else eat it after the birthday party. haha

Jennalee - It wasn’t my cake that was most memorable but the cake I made for my dad when I was in high school. It was an 8 layer confetti cake. You could say I definitely hadn’t mastered baking yet because I got too excited to wait for it all to cool before I layered it. After it was assembled, it all slid off the board and ALL over the counter! Everybody loved it though just for that reason!

merlin - It was a cake my mother made for my brother, He might have been 9 or 10, it was a chocolate-mocha multi-layer cake. I knew she loved him best because of this cake. And I am so glad he had this divine cake, he didn’t celebrate very many birthdays after that.

olivia - My 10th bithday cake…..I made it

Sarah - Normally, my mother (having 4 daughters) was the one to make the birthday cakes, plan parties with sleep overs, trips to Chucky Cheese etc. One year, for my 11th birthday my mom was working evenings at the hospital & my dad was given the task of baking AND decorating my birthday cake. It wasn’t anything fantastic, – it came out of a box – a randow bit better crocker cake, with vanilla icing and DINOSAUR sprinkles, but it was my dad who made it, which now when I look back on it, makes it my most favourite birthday cake experience!

Christina - I was probably turning 8 or 9 and my mom made one of those barbie cakes. She bought a giant glass measuring cups to make the skirt and let me pick out the barbie for the top part. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And of course it was 100% pink.

Margo - Hands down has to be the Barbie doll cake my aunt made me when I turned 10! I still have the Barbie that she used and that was 25 years ago!

Jamie - Sharing my birthday with my sister her birthday was two days before mine and every year we shared it together. Even though she was 10 yrs older than me, we always had a blast because we were together!

Rachael B - That necklace is so cute! It reminds me of the cake I made…

My favorite birthday cake was actually my 15th birthday because I had 15 cheesecakes! (I also had a very large party..)

miss r - My mom always made awesome birthday cakes for my brothers and I, but my absolute favorite was a Strawberry Shortcake shaped/decorated cake. LOVED it!

ashley - Sadly I don’t have a memorable cake but I have seen pics of my first b-day cake and it was a rocking horse. Looks pretty cool in Polaroids.

erin stivender - care bear cake from pizza hut…it was a hot party spot among my friends and i loved that cake (on my birthday and others)…care bears right in the middle of all that chocolate icing…pizza hut, please bring it back!

Jacqui - chocolate coffee cake that my nana baked me when i was younger much younger!!

Beth - My birthday is the day after Valentine’s Day and for years my mom would buy me discounted heart-shaped ice cream cakes from Carvel.

Kimberlee J. - My mom always purchased my cakes. I think Cookie Monster with a real chocolate chip cookie in his mouth was my most memorable.

Jennifer O'Steen - my most memorable birthday cake was when i was in middle school. my mom surprised me with a peace frog cake and i was the coolest kid around (for a week, ha!) it was just what i wanted for my 12th birthday.

Jill - My favorite cake was a bunny rabbit cake made by carving two 8 inch cakes into a face and ears, covered with coconut, with licorice whiskers and jelly bean decorations!

tara hawks - made in a bowl, then turned upside down to look like a princess dress…with a barbie stuck in the middle, so she was wearing the dress!! awesome!

el - that is the CUTEST necklace! I would give it to my Mom if I won it, she loved the rainbow cake I made for her birthday. Crazy you are asking about favorite cakes because I was just talking about mine. Not sure what birthday maybe 12 but it was an ice cream cake and it was adorned with waffle cones filled with frosting; frosting cones! best cake ever, the frosting cones were my favorite part. I always tell my mom how grateful I am for that awesome cake I will never forget!

Tammy - My birthday cakes weren’t cut & shaped into items, but I had my pick of what I wanted. So sometimes I had angel food cake with strawberries, or choc cake & choc frosting, or even pineapple upside down cake….yummy! They were all fantastic!
Thanks for offering such a cute giveaway!

Valerie - i would soooo keep that necklace for myself. and if i won, i would actually finally attempt to make the real thing! 🙂
my favorite b-day cake might have to be the old-fashioned chocolate sheet cake. the type all the church ladies know how to rock. yum, yum!

Bri - I won a birthday cake from a grocery store when I was 7…. It was a giant Barney cake and I adored it. I was so proud!

Sarah @ Dream In Domestic - Oh my goodness! This has got to be the best giveaway I’ve ever seen – what an amazing shop!
Okay, so the cake I would choose isn’t a birthday cake, but it sure felt like my birthday when I ate it! My boyfriend went to Le Cordon Bleu Culinary school for an Associate’s Degree as a Pastry Chef. In his cake class, they had to create a cake based on some kind of theme. He picked a dream theme and made a layered cake (white cake and devil’s food every other layer) and made a homemade chocolate mocha filling to join the layers. He used a white buttercream frosting on the outside, topped it with chocolate shavings, and then baked some almond macaroons that he stuck to the side. It looked like fluffy clouds with chocolate on top! It was the best cake I have ever had! I hope that counts!

Amber - Mine was a giant big giant cookie dough coldstone cake. =)

Trena - I can’t remember how old I was…probably 10, because I remember where we lived and we lived there when I was in Grade 4. I ALWAYS wanted a cake with money in it but my mom always said NO!…but one year she actually put money in…wrapped in waxed paper…quarters and dimes! I thought it was THE coolest!! She thought it was THE dumbest because all the money went to the bottom!

Zoe - I love this necklace!
My favorite birthday cakes were the cupcakes baked in ice cream cones that I used to bring to school when I was little.

Juli - When I turned seven, my mother made me a birthday cake with my Madame Alexander doll carefully inserted into the middle of it. The cake was a half-sphere in shape, so it made the doll look like she was wearing a very full hoop skirt. Mom completed the illusion by piping intricate frosting designs on the cake and forming a frosting “bodice” for the doll, who wore a bonnet to complete the Southern Belle look. Fabulous!

Julie - My great aunt used to have a bakery and one year she made me the Barbie Cake. Unfortunately, this was before Barbie cakes were made with Barbies and much to my dismay, it was just the top half of a doll. I was very bummed about that part. But to have a Bakery Cake was really super cool!! No homemade cake that year! YAY!

Rachel - P.S. Have you seen this?!
http://blog.koldcast.tv/2010/koldcast-news/20-most-inventive-cupcakes-known-to-man/

Rachel - For my seventh birthday my parents surprised me with a weekend away and me and my little brother got to stay in our own hotel room with a themed cowboy room. The hotel gave me a huge white sponge cake for my birthday with ‘Happy Birthday Rachel’ in fancy letters, it was so cool. The next day back at school I took the rest of the cake in for my class to share. Unfortunately every single one of us got food poisoning from it and I have vivid memories of projectile-vomiting down a school corridor. How embarrassing! Rachel

Aimee - Mine was a minnie mouse and mickey mouse cake.. Just all the memories that go along with that cake made it my favorite..

Ashlee - Every year my mom would make us a bright Kelly green alligator cake! It was 4 ft long and I guess she made it for some theme one of us had but from then on we begged for it every year. It had red licorice and candy corn for teeth…so cute! My mom even made it for my sis in college and met her half way for her to get it. I’ve got to make that now! Can’t believe I haven’t yet for my kids. That makes me smile thinking how thoughtful she was for us. I am blessed!

Amy B. - In eighth grade, three friends threw me a surprise party and went all out to make a hamburger-shaped cake. I thought that was the coolest! Good memories!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Jenn - I think I remember the first cake that I had just to myself. I am a twin, and my older brother’s birthday is the day after mine, so growing up, I always had a shared cake with them. It was nice when I got married, and finally got a cake that had just my name on it from my husband. It was sweet!!!

Micah - Mine was when I was 11. It was my first double layer round cake from the bakery – with lots and lots of roses on top. I thought it looked like a mini wedding cake 🙂

Kat - For some reason everytime we talk about birthday cakes I can remember mum making me a Cookie Monster cake. The funny thing is I then made her a cookie monster cake for her 50th birthday.

adrienne - all of my b-day cakes were homemade and not decorated (believe me when i say that i was never disappointed… they were ALWAYS yummy!) but… at easter, mom would pick up a pink or yellow coconut decorated bunny cake with sugar candy ears and face. it was always my favorite and right around the corner from my b-day 😉

asibtroy - My favorite cake had to be my son’s first birthday cake! My husband wanted to do spongebob so I talked them into pirates and we had a big themed party and my mother made Spongebob’s pineapple under the sea house (a spice cake) just for the little man and then a big combo sheet cake ocean (yellow cake) with an upside down Christmas tree cake(chocolate) as the pirate ship!
It looked amazing, and b/c my mom made it – tasted even better than it looked!

Amber - For as long as I remember I have LOVED antique jewelry. So for my 10th birthday my Auntie Diane made me a cake shaped like a girl. She was wearing a pink and yellow dress made of frosting of course and around her neck was my grandmothers antique pink pearl necklace GASP!! and I got to keep it!

Heather - What?! A rainbow cake necklace? That is great. My favorite cake was the rainbow cake I made for my boyfriends birthday. It was a huge disaster because the recipe was something strange, but the colors were so much fun to take pictures of. Otherwise Im a carrot cake type girl.

June P - my favorite birthday cake was a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles – for my 22nd birthday. 😀 adult enough to appreciate the chocolate, and young enough to not worry about the poundage.
thanks for the opportunity to win!

Kate - A beautiful bunny cake with coconut on top to look fluffy and decorated with jelly beans and licorice for the nose, eyes and mouth. All made from 2 round homemade yellow cakes. moist, fluffy, delicious and made with LOVE! Thanks Mom! 🙂

linnie - My most memorable birthday cake was when I was 3 or 4 and my mum made me a kitty cake. For my daughters 3rd birthday I made her the same cake but modernised the icing colours a bit.

Kate B - Instead of a birthday cake, I’d always ask my Mom to make meringues, which we would top with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Yum!

shelly - I think my fav cake was a strawberry shortcake one when I had an awesome pool party in first grade–so maybe it was the party, but the cake was tasty too 🙂
Love that necklace!

Keli Cook - I was in the 4th grade and absolutely obsessed with unicorns and rainbows. It was just a sheet cake, but the unicorn and rainbow made it a masterpiece in my nine-year-old mind!

amy - As a grown up, my mom always makes me german chocolate cake…but my farvorite cake was the one my boys made me this year. They are 4 and 7 y/o and they made a halloween cake for me (my bday is in december). It was absolutely adorable.

Jessie - My most memorable cake was a Strawberry Shortcake cake my grandma made for my 3rd birthday! It was perfect!

Valley + Madiga - We never had birthday cakes growing up! When I met my now ex husband (all sounds pathetic…LOL) his mom would make him a special cake on his birthday it was called a wacky cake….hmmmm I wonder being an ex mother in law and all if I could get that from her!!
So wacky cake it is!!!
Boy I may have to try that rainbow cake everyone is talking about!!
That charm would look nice on my neck!!!
hehehehehe

Beth - Yikes! I gotta have that necklace for my daughter! However I can’t remember anything particular about my birthday cakes. I always had one!

kat - My mother-in-law bakes the best chocolate cake ever!!! It is a family tradition now and we all request her chocolate cake for every birthday. After every little bite I breathe a sigh of delight. It’s heavenly.

Elizabeth - My grandmother always made chocolate cake with chocolate icing, we are a house full of chocoholics! One year she made the chocolate on chocolate and decorated the whole thing with MandM’s. It was a birthday cake this girl will never forget!
Years later, still a chocoholic, I had told this story to a friend and she surprised me with chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing topped with MandM’s! So thoughtful and SWEET!

emily - it wasn’t my cake, but my little brother had a full blown castle cake for his birthday one year… a few years later he wanted it again but when mom tried to make it again, it just fell apart. he took one look at it & said “its okay mom, this one is the castle ruins!”

Dianne - For my 9th birthday my Mom made me a Holly Hobbie cake. I was so excited to share it with my friends. Now I try to make home-made cakes for my boys. The best was a pirate ship with plastic pirates on deck!

Art Cant Hurt - i’ve heard the story of my 2nd birthday cake so many times that it’s my favorite – even though i don’t remember it!
my grandmother made a cake in a pan shaped like a clown face & iced it using bright blue icing for the body & bright yellow icing for the hair and they say i enjoyed A LOT of it.
the next day my babysitter called my mother at work frantic with worry – apparently my AHEM….’output’ for that day was bright turquoise and she was afraid something was wrong with me! haha!

Tonya @ More Than Enough - I had several “lamb” cakes growing up b/c I collected lambs. They were my fave!
Adorable cake necklace!!! Her esty shop is adorable!

Bethany - My birthday is in June and so most of the time my cakes seemed to be topped with strawberries growing up. Very seasonal. Because they all seemed to be slight variations of one another, none really stands out… until a couple of years ago. My sister made me a bundt cake. I was secretly disappointed at first because a bundt cake without frosting sounded dreadfully dry. (I’ve never been a fan.) And then I tasted it… it was so moist, so chocolaty, and so full of liquor. What a wonderful surprise!

jilly - hmmmm, i guess my favorite was one of those barbie cakes where there is a real doll in the middle and the cake is her dress.

Emily - It’s sad, but I can’t remember any of my birthday cakes. Sad. Hope I win this one though!

Hannah - I was more of a pie girl growing up and my grandma always made me rhubarb crisp. It was delicious!

Megan McCulloch - My birthday is always around Thanksgiving, and one year when I was about 10 it was on Thanksgiving, so for dessert we had a GORGEOUS pumpkin shaped cake. It was beautiful and totally went with the food. :]

Suzette - My mom makes me a carrot cake every year for my birthday. I am now 43 years old and she still makes one e-v-e-r-y year! We now live 6 hours apart and she still manages to get me a homemade carrot cake to this day!

Maria Quackenbush - My Mom made me a unicorn cake when i was six. I loved that cake. by the way. i made your rainbow cake for my three year old on her birthday and she has been talking about it for 6 months…. it is so cute. This necklace would be so perfect for her!!!

Keri ~ Forever Folding Laundry - As a child, it was the kitty cat cake my mom made for my 5th (I think?) birthday.
Now, as an adult, it’s the messy frosted cakes with 14 lbs. of sprinkles that my kids make me. 🙂

Cathy - I honestly don’t remember any of my birthday cakes. It’s horrible. I do remember the cake I made for my nephew a few years ago. R2D2. It was a masterpiece. And that necklace is a masterpiece as well. Love it.

jessica - My husband and kids made me cake…boxed funfetti with rainbow chip frosting…simple & yummy…however…while Dad “quickly” ran the garbage out, the kids “quickly” pushed chairs to the counter and sunk there hands in & licked and picked at the yumminess…it was quite the work of art!

Melanie - I use to love ice cream cakes. Is that boring?

LeighAnn - My favorite birthday cake was in 7th grade…. It had a beanie baby seal on it with an igloo made out of sugar cubes.

Tracy - I have a picture of my favorite cake – my 10th bithday just a regular chocolate cake with homemade frosting with a big #10 on the top that my mom made. Why was it my favorite…I was always very chunky and that year I lost a lot of weight and was really proud of myself (and my belts were huge!!) 🙂

April Harris - Raggedy Ann…she was covered with colored coconut.

Rosemary Gustin - The only birthday cake that was significant enough to remember were these really bright, colorful cupcakes that had clown heads on them. Looking back now, I think those seem pretty disturbing! LOL!
My favorite cake ever was our wedding cake. We did tiers of cupcakes for our wedding guests. Half of the cupcakes were white cake, and half were chocolate. The frosting colors were super bright. We had hot pink, bright blue, bright yellow, bright green. It was such a fun thing to do. Plus we got married at the zoo, so it wasn’t exactly what you’d call a traditional wedding!
I’d love to win that adorable little necklace! And if I won, I’d have to hope I could hang onto it after my little girl saw it! 🙂

Donna - Meg, I used to call my older sister “gaga” (her name is Cindy, don’t ask me how I came up with gaga!). She’d finally had enough of it, so when I was 4, my dad told me that he’d buy me anything if I’d stop calling her that. We happened to be walking down the street, and I must have seen this cake in the window. It was a birthday cake, and I told my dad that’s what I wanted. Long story short….I stopped calling my sister gaga and my dad bought me the cake!

Missy - Oooh, it had to be the pink princess castle with the ice cream cones for where the princess was kept from the dragon. I loved that cake!

Katie Gonzalez - most memorable cake… the one from my first birthday. my parents had not let me have sweets before then, but decided it was time to let me try some for my birthday. apparently, i took my finger and tasted the icing, my eyes lit up and then i stuck my head right into the cake! my parents never expected that! very memorable indeed 🙂

Lynette - My favorite cake was my 16th birthday cake. My mom made a 2 layer round cake, frosted it, and then found tons of different kinds of candy and put them all over the cake for my “sweet 16”. We got to eat the left over candy for weeks after my birthday.

Georgia - My favourite cake was the one my great aunt made, it was a green bed, with 3 piglets sleeping in it, was so funny. I loved it, my aunt was amazing at making cakes 🙂

Megan - My favorite was for my 16th birthday… my aunt made a rich and creamy vanilla with vanilla frosting, decorated very elegantly, and topped with reall yellow and purple flowers!

meaghan - when i was 3 my mom hand piped a holly hobby cake. i’ve always loved the pics of it 😉

Bobbie (Clumsy Crafter) - My mom made cupcakes in ice cream cones and decorated the tops to look like ice cream. She was cool before cupcakes were cool.

Michelle - it was a cookie cake. . . I had always wanted one so badly when I was little and would see them at the cookie store at the mall. My mom finally got me one for my 12th birthday. . . so much icing. . it was awesome. It’s making my mouth water 15 years later. . .

Mandi - My favorite birthday cake I get every year–a simple cookie cake from Great American Cookie Company. And my birthday is 2 weeks away, so I will be getting one soon!!

LibraryGirl62 - 6th grade-1973-Cincinnati Reds Cake with a Pete Rose Bobble Head! Yeah~I am girl~so what! Go BIG RED MACHINE!!! (and wouldn’t I love to have that bobble head back!)

Sara - I don’t remember it, but the pictures of my carrot cake for my 1st birthday always make me smile.

Tiffany - I really don’t have a favorite cake, but I do remember having a homemade cake every year up until around my 15th birthday. It was a source of embarrassment to me, because I thought it meant we were so poor that we couldn’t afford a store bought cake, which in my mind were so much superior to ones made at home. After that first purchased cake, my stepmom told me she had been making my cakes because to her, since they took more effort and she thought they tasted better, it was a way of expressing love. She told me that she would’ve happily bought a cake every year if she’d known! Funny how something as simple as baking a cake instead of buying one can mean something so different to two people!

Anja - I hope my favorite birthday cake will be the one I will make for my grandma and grandpa’s 80th birthdays in three weeks. I have been planning and trying things out for weeks (and settled for chocolate and rasberry) and I am determined to make it the best birthday cake in our family ever. I have tough competition, though since my grandma usually makes the greatest cakes!

Ashley - My 26th birthday – my mom got me a cake that said “Happy Birthday, Ashley and Laura”
My name is Ashley Laura…but we pretended I had a twin named Laura that wasn’t there…we had lots of laughs!

pambuller - my favorite would be the cake my girl alex made for me the night we got home from africa. i can hardly remember it because i was so tired but they took pictures! and then we ate it all so she made another the next day so i could REMEMBER the taste. 🙂

kelli - that is absolutely adorable! so so cute. and, how random is it that this cake was on martha stewart today! i thought – oh my goodness, she is going to have megan on to show how to make it! – but… it was some other chick that said she thought of it (hmmm…). i totally saw it here first though. 🙂

beth buller - my momma made a horse birthday cake with a licorice bridle, frosting mane, frosting eyes and lifesavers to connect the bridle.
it was pretty but i wasn’t hungry that night and i never ate any of it.

Lu Buller - my mommas gonna make my favorite on TUESDAY.
cotton candy cupcakes.

april - last year my husband bought me a hello kitty cake…it was great!!!!

alex buller - meg’s famous rainbow cake for my 12th birthday! i made it myself.

Tanya B - Such a cute necklace! My favorite cake was my 8th birthday — a purple Unicorn. Can you guess it was the 80’s? 🙂

Nicole - What an adorable necklace – I would LOVE to wear it!!
My most favorite and memorable cake – I can’t remember exactly how old I was, maybe 4 or 5 or 6, my Mom made me one of those Barbie Doll cakes where the skirt is the cake part and an actual Barbie doll sticks up from the middle – it was gorgeous, all pink and frosting-y 🙂 What a dream cake for a little girl!

Michele Raven - I still remember watching my mom frost what was to be my most favorite birthday cake ever. It was similiar to your rainbow one except it was all chocolate cake layers with different colored frosting. I thought it was the neatest cake ever!

Ericka - I know you said Birthday Cake but mine is my wedding cake! I always wanted to get married on the beach but that meant that my great grandma and grandpa wouldn’t be able to as one was in her late 80’s and the other was very ill. So I had the beach brought to me with a cake full of shells it was awesome!

Jodi - Ha! That’s easy. I do not like chocolate (I know, I know…I am not normal). Anyhow, my favorite memory (and it’s not a good one) is when my mom accidentally came home with chocolate cake for my birthday. I was devastated, probably because I was a bit of a drama queen. I will never forget that. My feelings were so hurt. LOL. Good thing I am over it! Such a cute necklace, my 3 y.o. will LOVE it. Great giveaway!

Jenn s - My mom was an amateur cake decorator and she had me doing back flips for my 8th birthday when she made me a Darth Vader birthday cake. I was a huge tom-boy, so I had a lot of boys at my birthday party and they were so jealous of my awesome birthday cake. Of course it was all chocolate, which made it even sweeter 🙂

Heidi Jo the Artist - Awesome necklace! Lilac colored frosting with Easter M & M’s all over it! Birthday is always around Easter!

julie - my mom always made the best banana pudding and she usually put candles in it as my birthday “cake”…we still do it every year!

Julie - I celebrated my 18th Birthday on a cruise to the Bahamas and the night of my Birthday they served Baked Alaska cakes to each table. It was a wonderful Birthday!

Keshet - An Ariel cake when I was a little girl. I just loved it! This shop is so so cute!

Christy - Cute Necklace! My daughter turned 1 last year and I got a giant cupcake cake made it was awesome. Now I have to top that this year.
I also remember when I was little I had the round cake with the barbie in the middle and the cake part was her dress. I think every girl probably had one. I thought that was cool

karol - When I was 4 my mom made me the yummiest cake with M&M’s on it. she put an M&M #4 on the top. Just loved it.
Oh, and as an adult she always made me an angel food cake with the best lemon glaze. Miss those.

Melissa Morrill - When I turned 19 my mom took me to Europe for my birthday and on the actual day she gave me a piece of cheesecake with a candle in it. We ate it at the base of one of Europes most famous castle Neswanstein.

Corinne - My CUTEST birthday cake, didn’t hit me till I was 30. My best friend arranged for a tooo pretty chocolate cake with hit pink icing, ribbons and flowers. It was as pretty as a wedding cake, and just for me. I don’t think it will be topped.

Mitzi - I LOVE a good cake! 🙂 Yellow cake with chocolate icing is ALWAYS a winner…. and cupcakes, even better! I’ve had a Tweety Bird cake, and my sister and I shared a Cookie Monster cake when we were younger (our birthday are a week apart).

Rachel J - My mom always made a box cake in an old 9×13 metal pan with canned frosting. We got to pick the flavors & color of gel icing. But the memorable part were those gross candy decorations that came in a themed pack. They were just sugar and hard as rocks. But I still remember them- and it would be 8 years old Strawberry Shortcake that sticks out to me.
I think they might still sell them- but I have not made it a tradition for my family.
In all fairness- my mom was a bread/roll kind of baker.

Kit - I don’t remember a favorite birthday cake, but I do remember my 7th birthday as being special, with a party and dress up games and fancy lunch out on the porch. Only in Arizona can you count on being able to have an outdoor lunch in November!
LOVE the rainbow cake necklace…I made that cake for my son’s 7th birthday last summer, thanks to you!

Brittany - I can’t explain it, but my best birthday cake ever wasn’t even really a “cake.” My amazing mom poured cake batter into ice cream cones (you know, the kind w/the flat bottom for soft serve) and baked them. She then iced them to look like ice cream! They were amazing!!

Suzanne D - My aunt made me a Holly Hobbie cake. It looked just like Holly Hobbie down to the dress. She was amazing with cakes!

kathy b - There it is… your rainbow cake…..on the Martha Stewart Show today. Oh my gosh!
My favorite cake was a doll cake my mom made one year. I real doll with a huge frosting skirt!
Kathy

Dawn - A checkerboard cake that my grandma made me! Loved seeing that pattern when she cut into it!
The rainbow cake has become a favorite at our house on many occasions!
Thanks for the great giveaway! 🙂

Wendy - By far my favorite birthday cake, was one I made myself when I was 6. It was from my Easy Bake Over and I covered it with sprinkles!!!

Nicole Q. - I’ve always remembered a Holly Hobby shaped cake that I had when I was probably preschool age. I went through a Baskin Robbins Ice cream cake stage too. Oh that sounds good right now!

Becky - Mine was a castle. And to my mom it was a total flop. It was held together with toothpicks and who knows what else. And the pictures of it are REALLY sad and VERY funny.
But at the time, I was probably 7, it was the best looking cake ever! I hope my mom knew how much I loved that cake! 🙂

Meredith - When I was in first grade my mother took me and a friend to see a shadow play of Charlotte’s Web. She also had a friend make me a Charlotte’s Web birthday cake it was amazing and I can still remember how special I felt!

Stephanie Armstrong - I would have to say my favorite cake was holly hobbie i was 8-9, i LOVED holly hobbie 🙂

virginia - wow! that is a sweet necklace! i would wear it on happy days. my most memorable b-day cake would have to be the 101 dalmatians cake that my mom made me for my 6th birthday. my big b-day surprise was going to the movie theater to watch that movie too!

Julie - I never cared for cake, but I always had banana splits on my birthday with whatever toppings I wanted!

Stephanie Carroll - I had a troll cake with troll dolls all over it- crossing a bridge and stuff. I think I still have the trolls 15 years later

Alysa - A Holly Hobby Cake … complete with a Holly Hobby party. my mom was the BEST!

Denissa - That is adorable!! My fav cake was probably when I was 22 and had a suprise party w/ a delish fancy chocolate cake.

jen smith - i love the ocean. for my eighteenth birthday my parents got me a huge cake that was an underwater scene. i loved it!

michelle - when I was a little girl, Strawberry Shortcake, complete with a necklace for me!!

Andrea - That necklace rocks! And I actually just made a rainbow cake for my son’s 6th birthday.
My most memorable cake was this AMAZING Strawberry Shortcake cake. Like the character Strawberry Shortcake..not the cake strawberry shortcake. It was strawberry cake, with fresh strawberries inside and white icing…and just strawberry yumminess!

Kathrina - When I was 26, my husband came home from work and baked me a cake for my birthday. Nothing special, just a mix cake — he didn’t even use any frosting. But he did put the candles into the cake while the cake was still warm. When we ate it, there 26 big blobs of melted wax inside the cake. He hasn’t baked a cake since!

Amy Mumaw - I cant’s say that I ever had a cake that wasn’t a square. BORING!! Maybe when I am 40!
Amy

Summer - My parent always did a impressive job making memorable birthday cakes. My top would have to be the ‘Strawberry Shortcake’ cake when I was about.

rhonda - LOVE that rainbow cake necklace!
My favorite birthday cake was my New Kids on the Block cake! my mom recreated the logo on a sheet cake and even cut their pictures out of magazines and iced those onto the cake! I got concert tickets that day!

Val - I don’t remember any special b day cake of my own, but… the coolest cake I made for one of my kids was……………. a rainbow cake! My youngest son’s last birthday (his 6th) I made him your rainbow cake. He loved it, and so did everyone else!

Ellen - Every year, for all my life, my mom has made me a yellow cake with chocolate icing – my favorite – only because it’s tradition now. BUT, guess what I made HER for her birthday yesterday??? A beautiful rainbow cake! She was ecstatic. I NEED this necklace 🙂

Michelle - My most memorable birthday cake was from the first year my husband and I were dating. He tried to make me an angel food cake with strawberries….and it turned out pretty bad. 🙂 I was impressed anyway.

Terri - I love that necklace! My favorite birthday cake is a tie between my 5th strawberry shortcake cake and my sweet 16 12 tiered doll cake. Both very different and both very memorable!

Messy@Bungalow'56 - I remember a cake that my mom had hid money in. It was sooo exciting to eat. Luckily no on choked (the coins were wrapped in saran wrap)
Dana

Jess - New Kids on the block Cake!!! So funny I know!

Jessica Reed - Funny you should ask, my most favorite birthday cake was a rainbow birthday cake. I had a wizard of Oz themed party, and the cake looked just like that necklace. 🙂

Routhie - As a child, for about 8 years running, my family would meet at the same restaurant for my birthday. It was in a warehouse and their cake was plain white with white frosting. When it came to you, the middle was still very cold, but not frozen. So simple, but so good because they made you stand on a chair, holding your cake, while the entire restaurant sang to you. I loved it. To this day, I like being sang to on my birthday.

Ashley - the year i turned 14, my mom was 9 months preggers. my littlest brother was born ten days after my birthday. i didn’t get a party or anything fancy(obviously:), so my wonderful friend Mattie threw me a surprise party. she lined little flower pots with foil, put ice cream in them, stuck a candy stick in it, and a cupcake on top. they looked like little flowers, so cute!! and so sweet!

Courtney McIlwain - I have to say it was actually a cake I made for my daughter’s first birthday. It was a cute litle giraffe

sherry - Third grade–my Lovely Ladylocks cake. It’s actually rather creepy now…a girl with critters in her hair. 🙂
Fav now? red velvet or angel food…a bit of a contrast I know

Julie - My grandmother always made my birthday cake, yellow cake with lemon frosting still my absolutely favorite!!

Sarah@Clover Lane - Geez oh Petes! My mom just made a cake! Just a cake! Sometimes she put jelly beans in the frosting if she had some laying around. Sometimes she just let us pick the color of the frosting. Sometimes she said, “Would you like angel food cake, or just plain cake?” Sometimes she didn’t even ask! No fancy stuff…we had very simple birthdays growing up…and they were the BEST ever. I love her for giving me the LOVE of simple things. Like just plain CAKE!

adrianne - My sister’s friend made me an R2D2 cake. He used an R2D2 cake pan, but the piping on it was amazing. (And the cake was strawberry – yum.) And I may or may not have been turning 24 at the time.
(But I’d really like the ‘teen wolf’ cupcake cake one year – it makes me laugh…even if it wasn’t intended to be funny (or to be teen wolf).
http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/09/cupcake-cakes-always-wrecktastic-always.html)

Cara Kapp - Can’t really remember the best one – but the one that still stuck in my head is the plastic doll in the middle of the cake full of pink icing 🙂 with those silver balls all over and “yellow” hair. My mom wasn’t really a “Baker”!!

amy s - my mom rocked at making birthday cakes… totally professional… and my favorite cake was ANIMAL from the muppet show… i so dig that guy.

lisa - Not a cake. Last year my boyfriend made me an apple pie. I will never forget the shock and joy I felt when I opened the door after work to see him with an apron on, rolling out dough!

Alice - my 9th birthday cake. a bunny cake.a huge cake. my mom made it for me. How awesome is that.

Natalie - We never had fancy cakes for our birthdays. Just sheet cakes but we always got to pick the flavor. I’ll never forget my last birthday though because even though I’m 25, my mom made me a red velvet cake just like I wanted and then as she was eating hers, dropped it on my white carpet. That stain will never let me forget!

Lisa - My most memorable cake had to be my Sweet 16 cake. My mom had a red Camaro with a t-top at the time which I was dying to drive as a newly licensed 16 year old. The cake was that of a brunette-headed Barbie baked into a red Camaro cake.
Love it to this day! 😉

Kara - Ugh, I actually can’t remember any birthday cakes – but mom had 5 kids so I’ll cut her some slack!!!! Love the necklace – will be making the cake with my 3 year old 🙂

pam - When I was little my grandfather who I only knew for 8 years baked my birthday cake…it had the most peculiar aqua (kind of) frosting…turned out it was made from from pancakes, layered with frosting and then FROZEN!!!! I still remember that and I don’t have many memories from child hood.

sara jane - i must say. I LOVE CAKE. so pretty much every birthday and every reason for cake is my favorite 🙂

Amanda - I don’t know if I could pick just one favorite birthday cake. Every year my mom would make me a homemade cake (because store bought ones are just lame) in any shape that I wanted and each and every year I would think of more outlandish things to try and stump her. The castle cake she made me for my 16th was pretty amazing, complete with turrets, flags, and pink icing 🙂

Milena - My most memorable birthday cake was for my 7th birthday. My mum made a cake looking like a house. It was hollow in the middle (like those one makes for Christmas). It was covered with cream and enormous amounts of small chocolates, candy, gummy bears and so on. Inside (after all the kids stripped the house totally – I have a picture where all off us have cream up to our elbows) there was a chocolate cake!!! Amazing! And so much fun!

chasity - my favorite cake was either snow white and the seven dwarfs or a crocodile cake….both made by my dear mom.
she could make the ordinary days special and the special days spectacular!

Laura Dyson - My favorite birthday cake is a cake that I didn’t like as a little girl. I come from a big family, so when my birthday rolled around my mom got me a cake that she thought I really liked. I was 13 and my mom bought me a carrot cake! You know 13 year old girls — at the time I was so disppointed. But now I look back on it and laugh everytime. I will never forget that day and now I am a mother and completely understand how you can make mistakes 🙂 And with age I have grown to LOVE carrot cake.

Kristina - The cake I remember the most was an icecream cake I had at my slumber party when I was 11. It was the first time I ever had icecream in a cake….exciting stuff =)

Molly Pearce - When I was little my daddy would take me to pick out my cake each year! One year he surprised me with a mermaid cake! The icing was blue and green to look like the sea and it had little mermaids all over it. After my party was over I took all the mermaids out and washed them to play with them. Sadly they got lost when my daddy moved about 10 years ago. But I still remember his face when he brought me the cake with candles and saw how excited I was. Wish I was still 10 again with no cares in the world!

mrjasperson - My grandma made me a doll cake where the skirt of the doll was the cake and then the barbie was stuck in it…so cute and I still remember it and exactly where I was in her kitchen when I saw it for the first time. Such a fun memory…

Tiffany - The cake I remember most was for my 10th birthday. It had elephants on it and said Happy Double Digit Day!
I was so proud to finally be in the double digits.

Regina - My 10th birthday…it was the only party I ever had as a kid…the cake had clowns on it…remember those clowns with a body made of piped frosting and a clown head pick? I honestly think I still have those clown picks! Thanks for hosting such awesome give-aways!

Ruth H. - THAT is an awesome necklace. So perfect for you!
My most memorable birthday cake wasn’t a cake. It was a pie. My mom bakes the best pies, so sometimes we requested pies for our birthdays. My husband was aware of this quirky tradition. Before my 30th birthday, he had a friend who baked teach him how to make pie. He made 6 pies, and threw a big surprise party for me with all of our friends. It was so fun to eat the yummy peach pie my husband made for me!

Nathalie - All mine were special becaues they were homemade by my mom… never store bought…

BriBedell - It was my seventh birthday (in April usually around Easter) and my mom made me two Bunny Rabbit Cakes! They were awesome they had licorice whiskers and jelly bean eyes! My birthday party was at a roller staking rink! All my little friends thought my mom was the coolest..well she still is 🙂 LOL

Laura Phelps - As a cake decorator, is might be hard to believe but I DON’T HAVE A MEMORABLE CAKE!!! EVER. Is that sad???? My sister made me a winnie the pooh cake…and I remember it only because it is the only picture I have of myself with a cake. Maybe this Saturday..my 40th birthday…someone will finally get me a cake, because I refuse to make my own!!!!!!! (and if I could choose…either the triple berry cake from Sweet Lady Jane, or the vanilla cake with pink frosting from SUsie cakes…)
fyi…making a rainbow SHEETcake today…for a candyland party…should be interesting!)

katie - When I was 6, I had an Angel Food cake with blueberries in it with blue icing. I always had angel food cake and blueberries were my favorite and, well, the icing HAD to be blue to match. There was a lot of blue and everyone found themselves dyed blue after eating the cake. It was hilarious and wonderful as a 6 year old. That has always been my favorite birthday cake.

Kristi - My most memorable birthday cake of mine was my strawberry shortcake cake…but my most memorable cake of my daughters was the rainbow cake i made her for her fifth birthday! It looks just like the necklace…with a little extra flowers on top! It was her fancy nancy cake!

Christy - My favorite b-day was #30. My DH & my sister threw my a surprise party, well they tried. 🙂 I found out about it, but it was still a blast. Lots of friends celebrating at a local pub & I didn’t find out till a week later I was pregnant with my son, after many years of waiting. Best b-day EVER!

Shawna - Barbie Cake, I think I had it several times while in elementary school I liked it so much.

Tracy - Are you going to share the recipe for the mint chocolate chip cheesecake????
My mom always made me cakes with money baked inside. I don’t think parents were as aware of choking hazzards as we are today :). She cleaned it at my dad’s dental office and mixed it into the batter. I miss that!

Meredith - My favorite birthday cake made for me was a three tiered cake my mom made me when I was probably 10 or 11. I was not a girly-girl but loved the idea of a fancy cake for my birthday. My favorite birthday cake I’ve made was your rainbow cake for my son’s first birthday last summer!

Amanda C. - My favorite birthday cake was when I was turning 14, I believe. It was in the heat of my NSYNC love and my mom got a cake that had their faces on it! You know, when photos are superimposed on cakes? That’s what it was. I remember asking for Justin’s face. Best cake ever. 🙂

Amy Harle - My favorite was my first birthday cake – the Barbie cake – doll stuck in the middle of a cake dress 🙂 I made one for my 2nd dd’s first birthday, too 🙂

amy d - ha ha ha…my favorite birthday cake was also a roller skate, with the cake donuts as wheels!!! i begged for that cake because cake donuts were (are) my favorite. mine was the “jogger” type roller skate…blue and yellow. next in line would have to be the bert & ernie cake though, because my mom cursed the whole way through it 🙂

Kate - my sweet mom used to make me these ice cream cone cupcakes (the cupcake was inside the ice cream cone). They were yummy and SO cute!

emily - my 4th birthday . . . a strawberry shortcake cake!!!

Terri A. - My pink panther cake for my 6th birthday.

Lori - My Gram baked me a train birthday cake for my third birthday. She had baked one for my dad too when he was little. I just found the pics the other day when I was going through some of his old pictures.

Sophie - My most memorable birthday cake was probably for my 7th birthday. There was this cake that I’d always see in the supermarket. It had pink icing and was covered in necklaces, rings and pretty little jewels for all the people that ate it. It was little girl’s princess cake. I wanted it so badly. But when my birthday rolled around, my parents said they couldn’t afford it because it was so expensive, so my dad, sweet as he is, made me one almost exactly the same.
I’ll never forget it. Mine wasn’t just almost the same.
It was better (:

`Kelly - I love that necklace! I’ve made that cake so many times for different parties! I just made it two weekends ago for my niece’s Over The Rainbow party!
My favorite cake…I don’t remember any specifically. I do remember my sister getting one that looked like a cheeseburger. It was very cool!

Lee Ann - It’s a toss up. When I was little my mom made a cute Easter bunny. But this year my hubby made me a chocolate (gluten free) cake all my himself! He’d never even made a cake.
That necklace is soooooo cute!

Beth K. - My mom made all of my cakes until high school. Being an October birthday I had a lot of Halloween theme cakes – witches, etc. I had a pac man cake, Care Bear cake, a little house cake (my made this three times for us girls – crazy!), but I would have to say my favorite was a double layer cake with the best frosting on it. It had Charms suckers around it with their sticks wrapped in green paper and mint leaves at the bottom so it looked like flowers all around the cake.

Bec - I sent you the link because I found her etsy shop through epicute and it screamed Meg.
My favorite bday cake is Black Magic cake which I make my mom make every year. Delicious.

Rebecca - that reminds me of the plastic charm bracelets and necklaces my sister and i used to wear and collect…how i wish i still had those for my little girl…favorite cake memory is actually for my son’s 5th birthday…it was a red and white circus tent and weighed so much that i could barely carry it in the house!! good times!!

Tara - instead of making a “themed” cake, my mom has always made us our favorite cake..she still does this and I’m turning 37 in June!
Mine is a homemade strawberry cake with fresh, homemade strawberry cream cheese icing. yummy!!!

Blanca - I wish I had one. Don’t ever remember ever having a cake for my birthday. Maybe that is why I make sure my kids never go without a cake on their birthdays. I take that back my niece bought me a mini cake about 2 or 3 years ago for my birthday.

Jami - For me every cake growing up was memorable! My Mom made all of my cakes and they were awesome, Ernie and Bert, Tweety bird, a cabage patch doll and Strawberry short cake to name a few. But the best cake of all was My ALF cake. You know the old TV show about the furry alien named Alf who comes to live with a family and was always trying to eat thier cat? Well my Mom hand made the cake like usual (which makes it 10 times more special) and I had an Alf party to match 🙂 Oh and on the cake my Mom wrote “Yo, Willie it’s Jami Sweeney’s 8th birthday!” That was for sure my most memorable cake 🙂

amy jupin - shut up! you have your own jewelry line now??!!
this is so lame. my best birthday cake was a marble cake when i was maybe 8 or 9. i had never seen anyone make a cake like that before and i loved chocolate & vanilla swirl so it was perfect. i know, i’m so easily pleased.

Tiffany - Good Morning! My fifth birthday cake was a wonder woman cake. It was so great and looked even better because I was wearing wonder woman underoos (to match the cake) HA!

Chris - Hummingbird cake – so delicious.

Staci - Sadly, I don’t remember a favorite cake 🙁 I know, now I’m sad! But I would’ve loved one of those Barbie ones 😉 I can remember getting a Lee Majors 10 million dollar (or however many dollar he was) Man Barbie doll!! He was soooo cool! It’s all I wanted…maybe they got that instead of the cake? Oh well! Thanks again for the giveaway!

Molly - For my 12th birthday my mom made me this HUGE alligator cake. It was 3 feet long! It had this amazing bright green icing, red string licorice for the lips, candy corn for the teeth and different color and sizes of gummy candy for the eyes and toes. It was amazing! I LOVE to bake so many years later I decided I would try to make it. It took 4 hours to make and decorate this cake. I was so thankful that my mom took that much time to make me a cake so amazing!

Kendra - Ha! I was really into collecting trolls when I was probably 6 or 7 years old. So my mom made me a troll cake. But of course they were the little cute ones. With fun hair. Not scary=)

crush. - mine wasn’t birthday cake but a first communion one – three tiers covered in pink and white frosting roses – I felt like a princess. 🙂

Donna - I have no idea how old I was, but my mom made me a clown cake with the clown head made out of plasic on a stick that you stuck in the cake and then the body was made out of frosting.

Jennifer - My dad used to be a cake decorator and one year he made me an awesome barbie cake, I was really young okay? lol Hopefully one day he’ll be able to make me my wedding cake.

Marisol Avila - Such adorable stuff.
My favorite cake was my Strawberry Shortcake Cake. 🙂

Mindy Harris - my mom always let us request the kind of birthday cake we wanted. i chose chocolate pudding poke cake several years in a row. the cold pudding…yum!

kathryn - the kiddos i am a nanny for (and their mom) made me a 3D teddy bear cake a couple years ago. it was so cute and they were so very proud to show it to me. 🙂
i LOVE the rainbow cake! i found your post about it way back in august and saved it for this st. patrick’s day to make with the kids. i iced it before they could see the inside and they decorated it. turned out so cute! and there were many amazed exclamations when we cut into it! 🙂 thanks for the idea!

Tracy - I always had a professional cake since my aunt made cakes…they were all wondeful and very pretty. But, one that sticks out was one my mom actually made for my friend party and it was a popcorn cake. It was so good!!! Now I make it for my kids…not for their birthdays but just because….and they love it!!!

Stephanie - A Barbie cake! Hands down, it was the best! A cake that somehow my mom got to be really tall and come down, like a barbie’s big fluffy dress, and then stuck a barbie in the middle of it… it was sooooo COOL!

Joni Lane - the best birthday cake was for my 16th surprise birthday party. my best friend made me a giant chocolate chip cookie and decorated it as a pizza. it was amazing…and DELICIOUS!

Sue K. - OK so my mom is very granola, you know…natural and organic and stuff (she was way way way ahead of her time). So my birthday cakes were usually like a honey cake or banana bread type things. (if she was feeling extra sinful she would sprinkle **some** powdered sugar on it). So for my 10th birthday (the double digit one) I BEGGED her for a real birthday cake with frosting on it and please please please make it “normal”. Guess what…she did! She made me a chocolate (not carob) cake and put vanilla frosting on it and around the side edges she put a ring of those orange slices that are gumdropish. It was so beautiful to me!

Sheila - A three tiered white cake with coconut flavored icing and tons of coconut! Probably sounds gross to some, either you are a coconut lover or you are not. I definitely am!

Jen - My most memorable birthday cake was probably the Strawberry Shortcake one my mom made for my 6th birthday. She painstakingly used a star tip to dot on every inch of frosting. It was awesome.

Anna Marie - It was a train with a load of sugar gum drops as cargo. It was so detailed! My great aunt made it.
How fun would her necklaces and earrings be to wear if you owned a little bakery?!? So stinkin’ cute!

megan - the most memorable birthday cake i have ever had was THIS year…we spent my birthday in Buenos Aires. The cake was a brownie with a layer of dulce de leche and then a meringue topping. it was NOTHING in have ever had before….and probably will never have it again.

Ariel - Once I was deemed “old enough” (my sweet 16) I received a Mocha Cake (only reserved for adults!) from the BEST bakery in town, The Village Baking Company! I felt like such a grown-up, such a woman eating my Mocha cake and knowing I would soon be going out for a drive with my Mom!

kbonikowsky - Five-years-old birthday was one of those Barbie cakes with the doll sticking out of the top of the hoop skirt that was the cake. To this day, I love those cakes!! What an adorable giveaway, thanks!

Lisa - I don’t know if this cake was the most memorable or just the only one that I remember 🙂
On my 8th birthday, which occurred on August 8th, and was my lucky birthday, I had a strawberry cake with strawberry icing that had little, dark pink flecks in it. I can almost
still taste it.

Dana Banana - Didn’t do a lot of cakes for my Birthday. Not that I didn’t have a cake, just nothing special. And my birthday is over Christmas, so always had lots of other treats. Usually request an Angel Food cake with strawberries.

Kristen - My most memorable birthday cake was the first one my MIL made for me. Chocolate with vanilla frosting…my favorite, and so thoughtful of her 🙂

Mary - All we could afford growing up was the candy toppings that went on top of cakes. They still make them and they’re still just as nasty tasting today as they were then. But as a child from a home that only got desserts on special occassions, those candy treats were heavenly. So my only memory of birthday cakes was that when it was My birthday, I got to choose with candy piece i wanted to eat. Then all the others had to be shared with sisters and friends.

Megan - We always had ice cream cakes. I LOVE THEM to this day.

dori - for my 12th birthday, i was supposed to get a “new kids on the block” cake. but my dad didnt look at it before leaving the bakery, brought it home, and opened it up in front of all my friends (boys too…my first boy-girl party!) and it said “happy birthday raymond” not dori! everyone had a good laugh before my dad got back in the car and drive it straight back to the bakery.
you said memorable, not favorite!

ckiser@chem-castltd.com - never had a cake, never had a birthday party; but if I would have, i would have wanted it to be a cake just like the necklace. that would have been amazing. i must do that for my daughter. what an awesome memory for her.

Tammy - A cake from Baskin Robbins- shaped like Snoopy. It was supposed to have cake and ice cream. They did all chocolate fudge ice cream for the entire thing. Every girl at the party got sick from it and we had to take turns in the bathroom. I must have been 10 or 11.

angela - I had a Brown Stone Front Cake every year on my birthday….with the caramel icing. Oh MY!!!

amanda fuentes - Love the necklace, so original!
The only cake that stands out in my mind was the Angel Food topped with fresh strawberries. I am not a fan of frosting or icing so Angel Food was always my favorite.

Katie - A multi-tiered confetti cake!

Jessie Miller Sterling - I don’t remember one in particular, but I do remember going to Dairy Queen to pick out the ice cream cake I wanted. I always picked those. And I still LOVE them!

Brittney - My most memorable was not necessarily the best!
The best was the grasshopper (choc cake, mint buttercream) I had from a new local bakery last year.
But the most memorable was when I was about 12 and my mom surprised me with one of those photo cakes with a picture of my little brother and me on it. I was so mortified that he was on there, but I don’t think I ever told my mom that! As long as it tasted good it wasn’t soo bad!

Mother Runner - My favorite was my grandpa’s 60th birthday cake that was just a huge pair of naked BOOBS!
I know it wasn’t my cake – but by far the most memorable.
Plus I like to type the word ‘BOOBS’.
If you randomly draw my number – feel free to choose someone else instead.
BOOBS.

Ayelet - my mom worked as a pastry chef for most of my childhood and for my 16th birthday she made me something that looked like it was out of a wedding magazine! it was white chocolate with strawberry swiss meringue filling and white chocolate frosting. sugar and gum paste flowers all over it…it was amazing! and it tasted sooo good too! it was perfect for the girly sweet 16 party I had 🙂

Jennifer Frazee-Whitcomb - My favorite was a New Kids on the Block cake when I was 12. It had Jon’s face on it!!!!!! I know I know….
My daughter would LOVE LOVE LOVE that necklace! We made your rainbow cake for her birthday last year and she wants the same this year! Yahoo!
Jennifer

Ana - My most memorable birthday cake was prepared for my 8th birthday by my godmother, who was a professional baker. (I think that’s the only thing she ever did for me because I just never saw the woman!). Anyway, this cake had three tiers and on top sat a doll. Actually, the upper body of the doll was embedded in the cake to give the illusion that the cake was her dress, get it? Too bad nobody took a picture (we didn’t own a camera…), but it must have been memorable because I still remember that cake after 30 years!

Lisa - I don’t remember any special cake, just that I always had to share one with my sister who’s birthday is a few days after mine 🙁 So this could be my “special” cake! 🙂

Holly - That is just too cute! I never had a store bought cake, mine were always just ones my mom made and put swoopy swirls of frosting on them. I have made all my five kids cakes. Does that count. My favorite was a horse head and I used licorice for the reins.

cheryl @ a pretty cool life. - Martha’s showing the rainbow cake on her show today. The pic of it on facebook this morning looked exactly like that little necklace!
My fave bday cake was Rainbow Brite. I was born in the 80’s baby!!!!!

miss lynn - total barbie cake.
the barbie was
stuck in the
middle and the
cake was a
beautiful gown.
i LOVED that
cake.
happy!

Jill - We rarely did cake. We usually had cream puffs! Yum!

Shairee - When I turned 36 my in laws came to visit on my birthday (a 4 hr drive)! and my mother in law plopped a store brand yellow cake mix, store brand jello box, and store bought frosting on my counter. THEY WERE ALL PAST THE DATE OF SELL BY at lease 5 YEARS!!!! When I pointed them out to my husband and said please don’t let her make that…he called a friend of ours & got her recipe for a white cake with raspberry frosting. THEN HE MADE IT! (I think he’s cooked once in our 16 years of marriage). It was fabulous, tasty, and beautiful!

Megan - I always just had a sheet cake with icing on it….nothing too exciting. One year though, my mom placed coins in the cake before baking. A nice surprise….so that’s probably my favorite.

Elizabeth McDonald - My favorite cake was a monkey cake…my mom spent all day making it…and while she was picking up my grandmother…the dog ATE it..he was sick for a week!

Laura - Definitely – it was the Barbie Cake! You know – the kind where the dress is the cake and the doll is at the top!!!!!

Marley - Very cute necklace! My favorite birthday cake was one my mom made for me when I was 7 years old. It was a Barbie cake. My mom made a normal bundt cake but put a Barbie doll in the middle and made the cake part look like it was her dress! Very cool

Christy - My 7th birthday cake was a clown cake to go along with my clown themed birthday party…I remember it because it was my last birthday before we moved back to FL after my parent’s divorce and my grandmother, who is NOT a baker, baked it for me. That is one cute necklace and I have one cute little girl who would LOVE it!!

Lacy Brauner - wow. om the first comment!! woohoo! hmmm…my favorit birthday cake?
my dad made me cupcakes for school one year. It was so sweet. My mom worked nights and things were rocky growin’ up, so dad did it:] he didnt want to wait between batches for the cupcake pan, so…..he put liners all along a cake pan. they were flat and misshaped, but I had cupcakes for everyone for my birthday. He knew my heart wouldve been broken if i didnt have them, so he tried!

Diana G - My brother “baked” me an Easy Bake Oven birthday cake for my 7th birthday. He was so proud! He even stuck some candles in it!

Karla - Hands down, it was a carousel. I still remember everything about it, I loved it!

Diana - the chair! i want the chair! i mean, you really can’t carry it with your bag… can you? LOL! ♥

Amy Walker - I have been wanting to order a bag since you posted a while back about a bag you had from her:) I actually did order a camera sleeve for a friend of mine and she loves it!

Nina - love it!

Kelly - I wonder if one of her bags would work well for a diaper bag?! Kelly

Melanie - I love Elisalou’s bags. I have a big one in some cute pink fabric and it carries everything.

Leah - oh, cute! Im into bags too, its a sicknes!! I love the colors in this one, and isnt it funny that we notice the chair too, lol!! xoxo LA

merlin - Beautiful bag, but are you kidding me….your bag is that organized! And it stays that way???
If you answer yes, I will have to get one, and call it the miracle bag, because for my purse/bag to be that organized it would be a miracle. Where are the receipts, and wrappers, crunched up kleenexes and the general mayhem that I spy in my bag if I find the courage to look in it?

ashley - Oh, wow. That bag is drool-worthy!!

Staci - Oh so cute 🙂 Headed over there right now 😉 I can’t resist a new bag 😉

Andrea - I love the bag. The fabric is awesome. I just made my daughter a dress out of the same fabric. Check it out: http://livingchangerously.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-just-cant-do-straight-lines.html

LouBoo - Love the bag – reminds me of Orla Kiely bags. Its delightful and yes looks good from every angle, with or without pink chair in support. LB

Megan - Love it! How great for spring! The colors are fantastic! Thats the size I need. Big enough but not too big!

Elisa - Thanks Meg- you are soooo sweet. I need that chair for my photos!
