Eli's Orange Velvet Cake

Even though moving to Southern California took us further away from most of our family it brought us closer to my brothers Eli and Ziah.  It has been so fun to watch McKay, Eli and Ziah all grow close to one another and a double bonus because we now have more excuses for parties!

Happy Birthday Eli!


When I asked Eli what kind of cake he wanted he requested red velvet, but it takes 2 tablespoons of red food coloring to make!  Yikes!  I figured that's a lot of artificiality going into your body and doesn't sound that good for you, so I made orange velvet cake instead.  It took much less food coloring and went with the decorations and October theme better anyways.  


Love that color!

No birthday cake is complete without ice cream so we made that festive as well.

And last, but not least, the cake!


Indulging in a match of The Rivals of Catan (The two person version of Settlers of Satan, I mean Catan.) 



Make a wish!


And let them eat cake!
