Happy Birthday Chareen!

My co-worker's (Upulani) son turned 1 this weekend. She asked me to help her decorate a Thomas the Train Engine cake. I was a little nervous, because it was such an important event and I am a rookie cake decorator! It took 5 hours, but she was patient and did an amazing job! I gave her a few tips as she went along and colored the icing for her, so she could concentrate on the design, but she did the WHOLE thing! I was so proud of her! Here are a few pictures.

Her husband and son loved it! He was so cute, he gets so excited when he sees Thomas and gets this BIG grin!

We had a great time and it was good to have Upu over for some girl time fun! :)
