Or at the very least, a very bad cake decorator.
My oldest daughter wanted me to make a cake like this for our 3-year-old’s recent birthday:
Instead, they all got this:
I call it my “Turrets in a Cloud” cake. Impressive, isn’t it?
There was a time when I would stay up until 3:00 a.m. putting the finishing touches on an elaborately frosted, multicolored, multi-layered work of art. (Okay, so I think I did this once.)
These days, though, I am more apt to…well, to stick several ice cream cones in a bundt cake and call it good.
And it was good, too.
Four days late…
But very tasty.
Ad Jesum per Mariam,
I’d say M in M is awfully hard on herself. From the smile on your oldest daughter’s face, I’d say you hit a home run with your creative adaptation. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen the birthday girl without her tongue sticking out. All three are sure beautiful girls.
M in M is routinely all too hard on herself. Her husband thought it was very cute.
That is a sweet looking cake. Good job Mommy!
Oh, Margaret, you got a big smile on my face this morning! LOL! Funny!
Wishing I had a slice!
I’m sure the kids did not mind and that is all that matters!
Looks yummy to ME! Did everyone enjoy eating it?
Next time, if your OLDEST DAUGHTER wants you to make a cake like that, hand her the box of cake mix and tub of icing and let her have at it. 🙂
I think that cake looks great!
My mom always complained that her cakes, cookies, etc. weren’t pretty. But, you know what, they tasted GREAT!!! And your cake, I am sure, looked and tasted the same – GREAT!
Margaret…I love reading your blog. You make me laugh…and laughter is a good thing!
God bless you!
I LOVE you for this!!!!!!!!!!! (And you know I *never* use multiple exclamation points.) 🙂
