The Things I Do for Love...



Okay...those of you who know me well, no I am NOT a longhorn. However, my one & only nephew whom I completely adore is a fan! So...for our family birthday party for him I made him a longhorn cake. Here are just a couple of pictures. I'd do anything for that boy!

You are a great aunt. And those are pretty cupcakes and the cake is pretty in it's own way too. :)

I love it! We will have to hire you to make us one when we (UT/our school!) go to the championship game again next year. :)

I love it, too! Very impressive. Did you buy a longhorn cake pan?

This makes me so happy! When I see any TX team logos I think only of Texas...not sports teams. Makes me soooo happy. I miss Texas and all you Texans!!
Happy B-day Wes! You are a sweet auntie.

Actually it wasn't a special pan. My dad made up a pattern on his computer for me so I just cut that up & laid on my large cake I baked and cut out the pieces & fit them together!

What a nice aunt you are!! The cake looks great even though I am not a longhorn fan ;) I have been known to buy my brother in law UT shirts or hats and wrap them in Michigan paper. The things we will do for our family :)

I love my nephew to pieces, but if he requests a cake like this he will be disappointed to see 'em sawed off.
Gig 'em Aggies!
