Happy 6th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Son!

My son's birthday was celebrated here on Saturday. We all had a blast and he thanked me for the "best party ever"... *blush*

In the midst of the chaos that is a kids' party, I didn't even take any food shots. But at least I have some pics of his cake. He had asked for the same cake I had made for another party.. this time I veganized it.. except for those After Eight Mints he insisted on (see edit on earlier post).

Chocolate cake recipe was from My Vegan Cookbook - only I made a double layer cake and 6 cupcakes.. just because. Frosting is the Fluffy Buttercream Frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, with mint extract instead of vanilla and a few drops of green food die.

Other items on the menu:
- Hummus, black olive tapenade, veggie platter and pitas
- Mexican bean and sweet peppers salad
- Chili with veggie ground round
- thin-crust pizzas with peppers, black olives, veggie pepperoni and vegan cheese

Nobody left hungry :-)
