On Saturday, after a long day of traveling by tractor to help my folks clear out their farm yard we celebrated dear Farmer's birthday. I made homemade pizza and used healthy ingredients!! It was yummy and no grease!!!
I used turkey pepperoni, canadian bacon, onions, greeen peppers, pineapple, olives, mozzarella and home canned pizza sauce of course! After the holidays I am ready to get back to our healthy eating plan!!I made my Farmer's favorite cake which is yellow cake with chocolate frosting.
Little Farmchick made a little cake with fondant (click fondant to read what exactly it is!) covering and a yellow fondant star. If you watch the food network then you probably have seen fondant used on the cake shows. She looked up the recipe and did everything by herself. I think it turned out pretty cute! She worked diligently on it for hours. The fondant had to be mixed and then rolled out. 
Jr. Farmer made Dad a nice card and of course it had to have a truck and tractor on it! No card is complete without drawing some piece of farm machinery and it has to look like something we own!! We have a red semi like this one...click here to see it being used during sunflower harvest.
Lil Farmer was content to help me make the cake..he loves dumping the ingredients into the bowl and turning the kitchen aid on and off! What more could a guy ask for right!?!?!
So happy birthday Dear Farmer....we love you!!!!
Have a wonderful evening everyone....and thanks for stopping in!
Farmchick
wow, your little people are so creative!! Love Taylors cake. Happy Birthday to Farmer Ronnie!!
ReplyDeleteHomemade fondant? Wow I'm impressed. She deserves an A from me!!
ReplyDeleteWe had SO muchh snow here...50 inches in about a weeks time...but then had a warm day of nearly 60, and most of it is gone! Yeah! Downside...we live in West Michigan, and winter ain't over till the robins fly back from Florida! Frigid temps are on their way, with more snow by mid week.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated to your farmboy! Mine will be 59 in Feb.!
are we reading each other's minds?
ReplyDeleteWE had homemade pizza tonight too! (no birthdays here, though)
Revamped my ABM recipe for the KA mixer since my BM is toast. Homemade sauce, our good beef and some of my dehydrated/rehydrated veggies from this summer and ok..store cheese.
I should have taken some photos. It was so good! Garlic...mmmmmm~~
Looks like you blessed your Farmer with a perfect homemade birthday meL....most of all made from your heart...filled with Love! And, who wouldn't be touched by that awesome handmade birthday card :D I teach three year olds..and two of my boys this year are "farm boys"...and they do the same thing...draw farm machinery..it always makes me smile...in fact, on our first day back today, one of them was drawing his new swather :D Life is good! Sweet blessings!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Farmer! I've been waiting for snow for so long. Can you dump a couple of feet in front of my apartment? :)
ReplyDeleteBoth the cakes look great. Little Farmchick did a great job. I love fondant! I think Farmer Jr did a great job on the artwork too.
Love that pizza ... think I need some too. Thanks for sharing all of this great day with us. xxoo

That pizza looks delicious...it's got to be, since it has homemade sauce on it...yum!
ReplyDeleteWe have only had a dusting of snow this winter. You could send just a LITTLE of that snow our way. :o)
Hope your hubby had a great birthday.
Blessings...
Oh my gosh, that's sooooo cold! It was 65 here on Sat and then a silly cold front came thru and is around still! No snow, rain, etc. Your pizza looks AWESOME! That just may have made my menu for the week! Have a blessed week and stay warm!!!

ReplyDeleteCute blog post title! Made me giggle! Happy Birthday to your farmer!! I love seeing what they do with fondant. Your littel chick did great!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, that is a great cake!!! We don't have any birthdays for another month. Of course, it is the daughter that just got married and WON'T BE HERE FOR HER BIRTHDAY....I wonder how a cake will hold up in the mail to Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get big snows here like we used to....I used to be able to build tunnels....now, we are lucky if we can build a snowman...now it is more like an ICEMAN....just ice and little snow.
Great pizza and cake. Sounds like a first class birthday dinner to me!! Better than any ole steak any day!!!
ReplyDeleteStay warm chickie and keep them babies warm too!!
Sounds like the perfect birthday celebration to me!

Wow! She did a great job on the cake. I've never attempted it myself. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Farm man!!!
Happy birthday to the Farmer! Your children are very creative! Your Little Farmchick is way braver than I am! Fondant scares me, but they make it look so easy on Ace of Cakes. Stay warm, Tania!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessed man the Farmer is to have such a loving and caring family! The fondant is just lovely. I've never even made one!
ReplyDeleteSpring is just around the corner, and the fields will be green again.
Stay warm & cozy,

I followed a link here from The Vintage Housewife's blog. Happy Birthday to your hubby. I am enjoying your recipes.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog while following a link from Vee's blog A Haven for Vee. She's having a game and I'm meeting some wonderful bloggers. I clicked on Katherine Holman Folkart's Blog and then to the Summer Kitchen Interior's Blog, and on to The Vintage Housewife's blog...and then to you!
Great blog...I love your pictures, oh, and the pizza looks pretty darn good too!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your farmer.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby used to drive a red semi, and when the grandson would make grandpa a picture for the frig door it to had to be a red truck and trailer.
I really can't say that I miss the snow at all. It has been so cold here, and we always manage to get ice before it turns over.
God bless
Yum that cake looks good! Happy Birthday Farmer! Love his helping skills!
ReplyDeleteThat pizza looks devine!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is a pastry chef and makes the most cakes...she uses fondant. Oh gosh, marshmallow fondant, I think??
Your blog is really great, I signed up to follow you so I'll trot on back! ;-)
