My Sister’s Birthday Cake
My Little Sister’s birthday is May 28. For my
sister’s 6th birthday, which was two years ago, I
made her a strawberry cake for the summer. It is a
Strawberry Yogurt Cake that had lemon inside. It
is such a fresh and delicious cake. This birthday
cake was very memorable.
At this time, my sister had just started to
become interested in gymnastics. She is now on
a competitive team at age 8. She requested
from my mother that her birthday party had an
acrobat, because she really wanted to have
someone twirling and jumping at her party for all
her friends. My mom followed her wishes and
arranged for an acrobat to come to the party
with my sister’s 15 classmates and friends. The kids
were enjoying themselves with coloring pages
and craft stations. The acrobat had finally
arrived and the kids all went screaming to the
door. Everyone got settled into the family room
floor, where there was a large space in front of
them where the acrobat could do her tricks. My
grandma has just finished the finishing touches on
the birthday cake that I wasn't able to complete
earlier. She wanted to bring the cake over to
show my mom how great a job I had done
decorating it, because she always likes to brag.
As she walked over, the acrobat was mid-air after
just flying off of a bar and expecting to land on
a mat, but instead landing on my cake. Everyone
was silent, and then my sister bursted out into
laughter, and so everyone else did as well. When
I think of this cake now, all I see is my
grandmother’s face as my sister’s birthday cake
shot down to her feet. What a comical sight.
