Making me more conscious of what I make compared with what I made the year before. Bigger and better is always the underlying motto of life. So this week we had a birthday to celebrate. With limited time to think of my next creation, and absolutely no time to actually complete this masterpiece, I broke down and bought one of my favorite cakes. The night before (when I should have been baking at 10pm) I was feeling a little guilty and came up with this grand idea to spruce up the store bought cake (didnt want any hurt feeling that I wasnt baking with love lol) . . . four hours later (yep, I ended up staying up way too late, which was what I was trying to avoid to begin with) . . . I had my fun party cake :) The cake was widely accepted and was renamed the cool "facebook cake" (my awesome picture source)! As an added bonus, they all totally thought the cake was homemade . . . next time I will run with that :) It was fun . . . you should all try it!!I never actually took my own picture :( This was from a phone. Guess I will have to "bake" another cake soon.

I do too!! :))
Making the cake is the easiest part... it is coming up with the decorations on it that becomes difficult... as you discovered by your late night. It is a cute idea, though. You need to watch cake boss a couple of times, write down some good ideas from that show and just tone it way down. I used to make fancy cakes for my kids, but then never ate the cakes. So I asked them if they liked cake and none of them really did. But they all loved strawberry shortcake. So I started making angel food cakes and frosting them with whipped cream and drizzling strawberry sauce a little over it for presentation and then for eating, lots more strawberries, a good glob of ice cream and tons of whipped cream. My family also loves any kind of mud pie. They are easier than anything to make for a treat. It is very generous of you to do that for everyone. You might go to a monthly birthday celebration... who ever has a birthday in a certain month, you only have one party. Love, Aunt Gail
