Buon Compleanno Priscilla…Happy Birthday Priscilla…

It's hard to believe that another year has passed,  and our little girl has turned 25!  We celebrated with family and lots of Priscilla's  friends.  Some of the Halloween Decor transitioned easily  into the "Pirate Theme" party decor.  As usual,  lots of food and good cheer,  and in keeping with tradition,  I made a Baked Alaska for her Birthday Cake,  and forgot to take a good picture of it,  or anything else for that matter,   but, we had a great time…

Happy Birthday Priscilla…

Can't believe our little girl is 23!  Baked Alaska Birthday Cake, and dinner with the family and a few friends… we had so much fun… no time to take pictures!

La Festa E Finita... The Party's Over...

Priscilla's Graduation Party was a great success. Family, friends, and food.  So much fun... Never enough time for picture taking... Just a few... Tables, Pom Poms,

Baked Alaska Per Un Compleanno... Baked Alaska for a Birthday...

Priscilla's Birthday cake request... Baked Alaska,  I couldn't say no...  A Classic,  Old Fashioned Dessert, made with Layers of Cake,  which is  bathed with a Rum Syrup,  Ice Cream, then topped with a Snow White Meringue and  placed in a very hot oven for just a few minutes to give a little color to the Meringue. I watched my father make many, many of these cakes .  His were flawless and beautiful.  Although I have only made a few of these,  I think he would be pretty happy with mine...

Our little girl ( # 13 in black)  6 feet tall, 22 years old, last year of College Volleyball and College Soccer... So fun!
