Birthday Cakes

We survived our month of birthdays. We celebrated 5 between Feb. 6th and March 1st.  Ya, it'a a lot.  Unfortunately for my kids, I suck at making cakes. It's an on going joke at how bad my cakes turn out.  It's a good thing I can laugh at myself.  I have grand ideas, and I just can not for the life of me execute a good cake.  For example take this beauty below:

A Belle Cake for Grace.

The cake was not tall enough for the silly doll.

I had to sit her down and cover her up with frosting.  

I was going for an umbre look and couldn't get that quite right either.

Grace loved it, and that's all that matters.

p.s. this cake took me all day to make.  I was exhausted.

And then there was Beckham's:

Beckham requested a Lego Party for his first ever party.

I was clever enough to purchase ding dong to make this 

awesome purple lego. 

 But just couldn't quite get the frosting job right.

And for the grand finale:

This six layer stunner for Isabel and Annika's 11th Birthday.

It's lopsided.

The layers did turn out pretty cool though.

I'm all smiles since my stint as cake decorator is finally over.

Next year, I'm buying cakes.
