I can’t believe I’m about to have an 11 year old. Even so, I’m doing my very best to take this birthday extra special since, well, times are still rather strange in the world. One of the things I’m doing to make her day even more magical is making cake! Okay, so… not cake-cake. She had pretty specific instructions on wanting a cookie cake again this year.

But, to get the party started early this long weekend, I decided to make this Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake! It’s part cookie. Part cake. And a whole lot of...
