Dad's Birthday Cake and Cookies



After taking a break for a few weeks from the holiday rush of Christmas cookies, I jumped back in to make some cookies for a few birthdays that were coming up! My Dad's 72nd Birthday and I had to of course make some cookies. Every year my parents go on die hard diets so I had to try to come up with something that would be okay with that. The cookies still looked the same, but boy were they hard to roll and work with. A recipe I found on the internet with half the butter. I didn't think they tasted too bad but not sure I'd make them again. They weren't as rich and a bit dryer than normal. But I loved the bright colors with all the fun Birthday things.
I also made a tasty lemon cake which is my Dad's favorite flavor. I haven't gotten as much practice decorating cakes so I'm not too great at those.So any excuse for a cake I make one! The cake was pretty tasty!
