Happy 100th Birthday Grandma Lois Stokes-Peck!

Lois was really excited to see her birthday cake with 100 candles. She has been asking if it's her birthday every day for at least a month. 

It didn't take long for these two pyros to light the 100 candles. They've also been waiting anxiously for this moment.
Yea! Grandma! You made it! You're 100 years old today!
Okay, Make a Wish!

Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to Lois, Mom, Grandma etc...

Lois is making a wish and blowing out the candle on her piece of cake.

Since regular birthday candles don't last long enough to light all 100 of them, we made the candles for her cake. These are pictures of us making the candles and adding sugar paste roses to the bottom of them.
We repeatedly dipped pieces of string into melted wax until the candles were big enough.

Lois was delighted with the hundred candles.

It took quite a few days to shape gum paste roses onto the bottom of each candle.







We baked two cakes, one chocolate and one spice. They were placed side by side and iced as one. Here are the one hundred candles on the finished cake.
