Happy Father's Day - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's On-Location Children's and Family Photographer

I want to send a belated Happy Father's Day to all of you daddies out there. Daddies are a wonderful part of a child's life, and I am thankful that my two boys have such an awesome daddy to look up to! Plus, any daddy that can make this cute of a baby deserves some major adoration, right?! =) (I had to throw in one of the latest pics of our wee one....)I have to share a funny story about our Father's Day. My gift to my hubby was a day of good food and drinks...some of his favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The dinner menu was beef tenderloin on crostini, Rex Goliath Merlot, and a 3-layer chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was going well...

And then the layers of the chocolate cake fell. I mean, completely caved in.

But I figured, hey, I'm going to frost it anyway, so I'll go ahead and just stack them up, frost them, and it will all be hidden! By the time I got the top layer on - whoomph - the entire center fell all the way through. At this point I was cracking up at this spectacular disaster. My hubby said, "Well, it's kind of like a layered bundt cake!" Umm, except I don't think you're supposed to layer bundt cakes! =) Anyways, I went ahead and slapped the frosting on, at this point not even caring how it looked, and it began to tip to the side.

No worries, though...

Our eldest still thought it was good enough to shove big handfuls into his mouth!

Ahhh, well. The moral of the story is, I need to invest in some 9" round cake pans, because, what I didn't tell you is, I tried to scrimp and bake them in those flimsy disposable foil pans that you buy for $2 for 6. Hmm. I guess there's a reason you fork out the big bucks (i.e. $8 a piece) for the real thing.

Happy Father's Day!
