Luau Birthday Party

While we're working out the details of Keely's 10th birthday, here's a look back at her 8th - one of my favorites.

I made the volcano cake out of red velvet cake, fudge frosting, oreo cookie crumbles and red icing for the lava. We also did candy sushi with rice crispie treats, fruit by the foot and Swedish fish, and I attempted a gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free cake for our guests with allergies. I feel like I should again apologize for that.
