Cakes

So I've been taking a try at making special cakes (kids only!!!)  So far I've made one for F. and my niece who are the same age.  This weekend the whole family will be together so we're celebrating my other niece's birthday even though it's not until November.  SInce I "kind of" enjoyed making the first cake I volunteered to make this one.  I figure home made are so much more special than store bought.

I've gotta say I actually enjoy making them.  Clean up...not so much.

I put the actual cake together at the beginning of the week and froze it.  Today F. gave me exactly the time I needed to decorate it.  His nap was the perfect length of time, although clean up will have to wait until his afternoon nap.  Thank goodness for 2 naps!

So here are my cakes (no laughing please)...

  2. I don't know if you got my email so I'll reply here as well. I just used a lot of food coloring, but the colors aren't that great. Next time I'd splurge and buy the food coloring gels...apparently they give a much better color.
