For her birthday celebration, we had a simple dinner together with our immediate family members last night.
I prepared 2 items - birthday cake and jelly.
Erin's birthday cake - Japanese Strawberry Shortcake
Just like for Elyssa's cake, plenty of drama involved and halfway thru, I was thinking why didn't I just BUY a cake instead of having self-inflicted stress ;-)
3-coloured jelly with fruits
Pretty simple to prepare
I also made Erin's name in jelly for the cake, but forgot to use it.
Aaargh!

Princess treatment for the birthday girl!
Can spot hubby in the pool?
We went earlier to have a quick swim before dinner. Elyssa had a good time swimming with her cousins. No photos of that since I was in the pool with them. :)

Poor Sis and SIL got very lost so the food got cold. Blame the GPS!

Birthday Song and Cake Cutting Time
Close Up Shot of the Cake since I slaved for hours over this ;)
Yes, very uneven. Yes, I was aiming for the "rustic look". He hee.
Will I bake again for the girls? Yes, despite my comment on the first photo.

Happy 1st birthday, Erin! Your strawberry cake is beautiful... and looks very yummy too :)
Actually it's not even"very lost" but it's just "see no touch" or reach in our case or "so near yet so far". can see the location very near like it's just across the road n yet can't seems to find the road to reach there.that's the frustrating point.
Happy 1st birthday Erin!!!
Happy 1st Birthday Erin...can I have your strawberry short cake recipe? Very nice...I'm planning to bake one hello kitty cake for Hebe...but still long way to go her's one is in oct...
Happy birthday to your little Princess! You know what I think? The cake is simply lovely! Like how you decorated the sides with almond flakes! Nice!
Happy Birthday to Erin!
I like the cake. From the outside look, I thought it was a Pavlova.

Happy 1st Birthday to Erin.
Happy Belated 1st birthday to Erin! The cake look good...
Yep could see the place across the road but the only way there was BY AIR!! Paid same stupid toll 5 times!
Cake was good. My jelly got hijacked so no comment. :)
Cake looks good, so the self inflicted stress was more than worth it! Hehehe... you know,nothing beats home made! But of course I got no talent in this area so I'll just take the easy way out.. haha! Happy 1st birthday, Erin... now to look forward to more cuteness and fun... and maybe another one? hehehe
