Father's Day/Spencer's Birthday

It happened that my nephew Spencer's birthday fell on Father's Day this year. So we celebrated both. We went over and had dinner after church with Stoney and Maria's family. It was a nice spread, but my favorite was the terriyaki glazed salmon! Yum! I could eat seafood every meal.

Two pretty cool fathers!

Spencer requested Salted Caramel Cupcakes and I tried out a new Snickers cupcake for the father's. Mom also made my dad's favorite, Banana Cream Pie (in a sheet cake large enough to serve a large crowd). Maria had brought German Chocolate Sheet cake too, so we had oodles of yummy treats, including Bacon Toffee. I decorated with ties using this super cute Tie-riffic printable.

Snickers Cupcakes, a new family favorite!

Bacon is such a hot ingredient right now. It is everywhere, in cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc. I saw this and had to make it: Bacon Toffee. Next time I will just make it with regular bacon, the smoked bacon was extremely strong. No one liked it but me and uncle Van. My family just lacks my "epicurean palate".

Happy Father's Day to some pretty cool guys!

Happy Birthday Spencer! Can't believe you are 16. Remind me to stay off the roads, ha ha ha.

Van was able to come over later. The twins: Van and Vaughn enjoying the evening.
