Let Em Eat Cake! Or The Second Dumbest Thing I've Ever Done!
I was going to just title this The Second Dumbest Thing I've Ever Done, but I didn't want anyone to misinterpret and think I regretted making the cakes. I just regret I chose to use fondant. Ewwww! That is nasty stuff. In the end it all turned out well and as I was told I'm sure in the years to come we will laugh about this experience!
Well on this very special day once a year we have more birthday cake than we can eat. You see my two youngest children were born on the same day in September only ten years apart. Levi has always said his little sister was his birthday present. Here they are with their home made birthday cakes turning nineteen and nine. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU TWO!
Hard to believe my youngest son is now nineteen. Where did the years go?
Okay for all you who wanted to see my red hair, the wedding cake birthday cake I made for McKenna and my kitchen here you go. You can sort of see the red in this pic. The lighting in the kitchen kind of washed it out, but trust me it's dark auburn red! As for the wedding birthday cake don't look too close. If there was an award for ugly birthday cakes this one would win. I'm pictured here with my youngest daughter McKenna and one of my grandgirls, Breanna.
The big thing is though that my daughter was thrilled and thought it was beautiful. Oh and you want to know something? Fondant is not only hard as all get out to work with it tastes awful! Totally blecky tasting.
You can sort of see my kitchen. At least one view of it anyway. The olive green venetian plaster we put on the walls shows up and you can see the ends of the cabinets I painted black. We aren't finished by a long shot. Right now the kitchen is a work in progress, long progress.
