Furkid Birthday Cake & Toy ideas

Sweetpea · 01-13-2006, 05:59 PM

Hi

Emma's Birthday is Sunday

. She will be 2.

I was wondering if anyone had any good recipes for Birthday cakes? I found a few on the net but wasn't sure what's really good for her. I'm also looking for any great toys that you would recommend that I can pick up for her birthday. Thanks any help would be great.

Hmm, well for cakes heres a few ideas for you:

Chicken Garlic Birthday Cake :

• 1 chicken bouillon cube
• 1 cup Whole-wheat flour
• 2 cups Wheat germ
• 1/2 cup Cornmeal
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
• 2 cups water vegetable oil spray -- Garlic Flavor

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dissolve bouillon cube in warm water. Combine flour, wheat germ, cornmeal, eggs, oil, garlic and water. Spray two cake pans with garlic-flavored oil, and sprinkle with flour. Bake 50 minutes. After removing cake from oven, turn upside down and let cool.

MAKES two small cakes.

Home Made Party Cake :

• 2/3 cup ripe mashed bananas
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 cups Unbleached Flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Frosting:
• 2 cup mashed banana
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 tablespoon carob flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 tablespoon unbleached flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cake:
In mixing bowl, beat together mashed banana and butter until creamy. Add eggs and water. Beat well. Stir in dry ingredients. Beat until smooth. Add nuts. Spoon batter evenly into oiled and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack 5 minutes, remove from pan, replace on rack and cool.
Frosting:
Blend thoroughly and spread on cool cake. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. The frosting contains carob, which is a safe (almost tastes like) chocolate substitute.

If your looking for a cake and icecream kind of thing you can make these as well.

Icy Paws :

• 2 cartons plain or vanilla yogurt (32 oz each)
• 1 small can tuna in water (8oz.)
• 2 tsp. garlic power
• 24 3 oz. plastic cups (not paper)

Open yogurt, if they are full to the top use a spoon & scoop out one cup. (these will be frozen as plain yogurt). Put half of the can of tuna in each yogurt container add the garlic power (1 tsp. in each) & stir thoroughly.
Use a spoon & scoop the mixture into the cups. Place on a tray & freeze overnight. Makes about 24 treats.

All I did to make Zada's birthday cake was whip up egg whites, put in silver cup cake papers, then put blueberry's on top. They LOVED it!

Maybe Emma can come to Azrael's birthday party this Sunday.

Her 1st birthday is on the 16 but I'm having it a day early so hubby can join in. He was in the Kwajalein Islands when Zada turned 1 Dec. 5th.

Oh! Calgal, your girls are just so precious! They look like true little ladies eating their birthday treats

Happy Birthday, Emma! 2 years old already! Have a wonderful day...Shadow sends you hugs and slurps!
