This past Saturday, we had a family birthday party for the redhead (whose real birthday was Oct. 3). Mr. Baseball's mother, sister and her 2 kids, my parents, and my sister and b-i-l were all there. The weather was great so we decided to grill out and eat outside.
After dinner, we decided to let the redhead open a present before we
presented him with his "special cake". Look at this face as he checked out his "BIG TRUCK"!
The truck didn't leave his sight, even when the cake made an appearance. This (photo below) was his actual face when he saw the cake. And since this reaction wasn't acceptable to me for all the hours and hours I spent on "The Cake" to make up for my Worst Mother of the Year Moments, we finagled it so that I could get a picture and use it as his real reaction to the cake.
Oh what's that? You wanna see the confectionery wonder I slaved and sweated over for hours?
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Here she is...
Yes, I did all those little starry bits of icing...over the entire cake top.
I've never had hand cramps so bad in my life, but it was all worth it.
Anything for this bit of preciousness-
and a blue tongue.
18 coins in my pocket:
I get to be first - yahoo!!!
You are amazing. I loved the "Blue's Clue's" cake. I cannot believe that you did that and still wanted to eat cake. I love the blue tongue too!!
What a darling little man Redhead is and so about the trucks. I love little boys, they are so easy to please.
So did you save me a hamburger, they looked delicish!!!
It's definitely better late than never. We still haven't had a birthday party (besides our little fam of 4) for Dylan. 3 will have to be a big year.=)
I seriously cannot believe the cake - you did awesome! Your little guy is so adorable.
Great job on the cake! Duff (Charm City Cakes) needs to hire you!
Birthday extravaganza! Love Blue :)
Oh, my word....that cake is AMAZING! I am duly impressed:)
Happy birthday to Wesley!! And great job on the cake, Caroline:)!
And you call yourself a bad mom?? That cake is awesome!
The red head has no idea what kind of a mommy you really are. That lucky tike!
AWESOME cake!! I love Blue...I MISS Blue. Call me weird. You rock, Mom! What a happy boy!
What a great job, Caro! Those cakes are gruesome to cover, one timy little squeeze of the bag at a time! You did a fantastic job redeeming yourself!
:)
No you didn't make that cake!!! You have some crazy mad cake making skillz! I couldn't even begin to do all that detail. Awesome!
If that gorgeous cake doesn't say motherly love, I don't know what does!
Dang! Isn't it funny how kids get psyched over the things that we don't think are all that spectacular, and totally ignore the stuff we slaved over? Little boogers.
Girl...
you are so coming to my house and making a cake like that for me. Let's do Jason's image in icing. And then I'll lick it.
Yeah, I said that. On your son's 1 month after the fact birthday party post.
Did anyone get him protective headgear?
(I'm gonna milk that one for all it's worth...for at least a few more years.)
That cake speaks volumes of love for the redhead. Can you make a twilight one for my birthday so that when we get together we can have cake? LOL.
And, I love the blue tongue.
That WAS a mighty tasty and CUTE cake! You got skillz! We had a BLAST hanging out with you guys! Your house feels like home. We need to do that more often!!!
That cake is AWESOME!! Great job!!
That cake is AWESOME!! Great job!!
