He wore his Halloween costume but insisted on trying on his new coat that he received as a gift. Off came the costume and on went the coat. He would have put the snow pants on but we were able to hide them from him for a bit.
I found a cake on pinterest, apparently an oldie, my mom told me she did the exact same thing for my sister. It was easy and adorable. Well when I say easy, I mean it was easy to decorate. I had a bit of a problem getting the cakes out of the pans. They crumbled out of the pans and I had a batch of cupcakes burn. I think I ended up making 4 boxes of cake (instead of the 2 I needed). Hubby wanted me to give up, but I persevered and came out with a cute cake. The next day I couldn't find candles and had to use tea candles. This is what happens when one spouse puts something in a spot so it will be "ready for the party" and the other spouse doesn't, then that other spouse is "helping" and puts them away in a different spot than you would normally put them away. Oh, I (Hubby) put the cake on top of the refrigerator to keep little hands from grabbing at the cupcakes, Bug had already grabbed on and started licking all the frosting off. Unfortunately, it was warm up there and the frosting started to melt, especially on the cake (the cake that was held together with frosting).
Not the best lighting, I took it the night before on a whim with the thought "just in case something happens" the next day the frosting had slid off the lion a bit.
Stripping down to try on his coat.
Despite what Monkey thinks, he really does NOT need help opening his presents.

Cute cake! I love that it is creative, but not impossible (well it probably is for me, but not normal people LOL)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was surprised at how easy that swirl is.
