Paul's 7th birthday

We had a busy birthday with mass, donut helping after mass, religious ed, and the Paul had a friend here until dinner.  Paul got a new geared bike to cruise around on, plus a new fishing pole and tackle box to go with it. Happy #7 P-Man!

"Helping" at donuts
The night before his birthday I tried a new cake from the Food Network. I made a few adjustments but it turned out great. Four layers of sugar cookies and in between them, layers of a chocolate filling made with cocoa, heavy cream, sugar and mascarpone cheese (used for tiramisu). The adult version includes kahlua and espresso and is topped with dark chocolate shavings. That's next on my list, possibly this week for my mom's birthday.
