Personal Notes:
Isaac came home with this recipe. It is a recipe for Mrs. Peter's Birthday Cake. The children in the book "The Seven Silly Eaters" make their mother a cake with all of their favorite food...

I haven't made the cake, but I thought you'd all enjoy trying the cake, too. If you don't know what book I am talking about...you should check it out!
