Happy Birthday, Dad!

Mom and I were in the kitchen first thing this morning, right after our 3-mile walkie, hard at work on making the frosting for dad's cake.

Here's the frosting recipe again~

Frosting for Pina Colada Cake:

1 cup cushed pineapple, undrained
1 small package instant coconut cream pudding
1/3 cup Malibu coconut rum

1 container ( 8 or 9 oz.) whipped topping

I have never had pineapple before so I'm gingerly tasting it! Do any of you carefully taste stuff too that you're having for the very first time - like your mom is trying to poison you?

It actually wasn't too bad!

Hey Harry, guess what? Malibu is rum!!! And you knew it all along!

Mom and I were so taken with the pretty bracelet around the neck of the bottle that we didn't even read the small print! I guess this tells you how much my mom is into alcohol! hehehe

She'd rather to use the liquor to bake with!

This is the whipped cream being mixed up with the first 3 ingredients! It's looking VERY yummy!

Mom is getting silly here and smearing whipped cream frosting on my nose! Do it again, mom! This is the BEST stuff!

I've got to get every little drop off the spatula! This is good frosting with quite the kick! Dad is gonna love this cake!


We did put the cake in the refrigerator to chill, just like the recipe said.
Dad decided to go for a spin on his Indian motorcycle right after lunch and mom looked at the both of us and said, "Ya know, that first piece is such a pain to get out of the pan. Let's help dad out, shall we?!" yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!

Isn't is beautiful and it tastes as good as it looks!

Okay, now it's my turn, Mitch!

Dad is going to LOVE his cake! It is sooooooooooo good!

Missy (my hooman sissy) and Jim (her hubby) are coming over today to help us celebrate and mom is making lazanne and a big salad, so it's time for us to head back out to the kitchen and hopefully snitch a piece of mozzerella and maybe a cucumber slice and a radish!

So until next time.................

Love ya lots,

Maggie
