The Golf Cake Jacob Wanted To Make For Grandma

I think we have officially begun a family tradition. Whenever someone at home (or elsewhere in the world) is having a birthday, we are going to bake a cake and sing them happy birthday and then enjoy the cake as if they are with us. So, here is the first one for this year. We decided on a golf course cake because that is all Jacob has been talking about since I brought up the idea of making a golf-cake for his birthday. He was so excited to help make Grandma a golf cake. And every night since we have discussed this golf cake idea, his prayer goes something like this:
“Dear God. Thank you for the food, and the family, and the friends, and the golf cake and…” He never fails to mention the golf cake even though he might forget family or friends or food, but never the golf cake. So mom, enjoy the gold cake!
