Thomas the Train

Thomas the Train seems to be back on the children's list of popular characters.  I made this cake for my son back in January but this time we needed a lot more cake.  More cake? No problem.  The base of the cake became the railroad track and its rocky terrain.  Kaya also wanted some pirate-themed favor cookies to share with his friends on his special day.  There was a little bit of everything to make everyone enjoy the day.  Wishing you a very Happy 3rd Birthday, Kaya!

Angel Mevlüt Cookie/Melek Mevlüt Kurabiye

These angel cookies were made for little baby Nehir.  She celebrated her Mevlüt (a religious ceremony) with her family this past weekend.  The cookie includes the angel, a butterfly and 'evil eye' symbol or nazar boncu (bon-jo) in Turkish.  The evil eye symbol brings protection and good luck to all.  God bless you, Nehir.
