Pink Cake

I had an ambition to complete the coop today to the point the chickens could inhabit their new home.  I made a fair amount of progress, including refurbishing the door that had been moldering in the weeds for several years.  I cleaned the front of dirt and mold, let it dry, then painted it hunter green to coordinate with the slide tower which has a dark green slide and closures made of hunter green shutters.  I was surprised at how well it turned out.  I cut u-shaped edges from pvc fence boards and mounted them around the edge of the door.  I might have accomplished my goal of moving the chickens, but pink cake was more important.  Diana had her eleventh birthday today.  She had purchased a strawberry cake mix and strawberry flavored frosting.  I asked if she would like to come to my house since I have the special pans and decorating tubes that allow for something fancy.  It was a cooperative effort.   When shopping this morning I purchased a can of cream cheese frosting.  We ended up using most of both cans of frosting.  The two layer cake had cream cheese frosting in the middle and was given a ruffled appearance with pink up the sides and over the edge of the top.  The top was covered with white and three pink roses along with yellow centers and green leaves were in the center of the cake.  It was very pretty.  I enjoy my grandchildren and which I had more to do with all of them.  In the afternoon Ralph did a great job of clearing out the wood that has been stored under the slide tower for several years.
