Anyone who knows me, knows I usually go overboard. The one thing I have never done for either of me kids is make their birthday cakes. This year I thought I would try it. I was planning a farm themed birthday party for Jack. I found a tractor cake pan, and asked my ever patient sister in law to help me. I called her several times, asking questions so I didn't mess the cake up. I baked the cake, made the frosting and scheduled a time to get with Jamie and have her help me decorate. So, Friday morning the kids and I headed over to Auntie Jamie's. She put Toot pants down for a nap and the older kids went off to play while we started decorating. We both worked on it, Jamie was so great and patient with me. About 1130am, close to 2 hours after we started, it was finished. I was so happy with how it came out! I was so proud that I actually did it. We stayed played and had lunch. When we got home, I put the cake on the kitchen table, and took the kids out of their carseats. I ran back to the car, for less than 2 min, when I opened the door, I saw my freshly decorated cake on the floor upside down, and Jack on top of the table saying "Uh oh!" and "Trouble!" I was so upset, all of my hardwork has been ruined. I put Jack back in his carseat so I could clean it up and call Jamie. I was on the verge of tears, and so mad. She so sweetly offered to help me make and decorate a new one. Once I told Joe, he said he would just order one. The one he ordered turned out very cute, and at least I can say I made him one. I think I can even start laughing about it now!!!
Great job honey. It was beautiful cake and in this case was certainly the thought that counts.
