The Godseys: Miss Ava turns 4

The night before ava's birthday I perfected the birthday cake pancakes so she would have a special breakfast on birthday morning. (I had to try two recipes because the first was way salty.)

the recipe I used.... link below.

Ingredients

For Pancakes:3/4 cups all purpose flour1/3 cup yellow cake mix2 teaspoons sugar1/2 teaspoon baking powderpinch of salt1 egg1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract1/2 to 1 cup milkassorted sprinkleswhipped cream and additional sprinkles for topping, optionalFor Glaze:1 cup powdered sugar1/2 tablespoon milk1/2 teaspoon vanilla extractassorted sprinkles

Directions

Combine flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix. Add 1/2 cup of milk, egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. You want the batter to look like regular pancake batter; not too thin, not too thick. This will vary greatly on the brand of cake mix you use. Start with 1/2 cup of milk and add more if needed.Preheat a skillet on medium heat. Fold desired amount of sprinkles into batter. Pour batter in 1/4 cup measurements onto skillet and let cook until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Serve with vanilla glaze.To Make Glaze:Mix milk, extract and powdered sugar until glaze forms. You may need to add a little more sugar or water/milk to reach desired consistency. Mix into glaze and drizzle on pancakes.

After work I picked up the cake and headed home. james took Ava to get mcDonalds for the kids because ava loves McDonald's. while they were gone the boys and I decorated. I had been making decorations all week. One of my favorite parts was the cotton candy drinks. I put a little cotton candy in clear plastic cups then poured sprite over the top. The kids were so impressed. :)

We also had candy necklaces and ring pops instead of party hats.

The theme was a candy party. Lots of candy, and lots of colors. It was insane. But fun.

Ok here are all the pics.
