Planning Avery's party was a piece of cake.......pardon that statement...HAHA!
Planning Avery's party was easy.....it was the cake....that really gives meaning to the word BLOG !
For those who don't care to read the cake part:
We had at Summer Saturday birthday Party with an Elmo & Abby theme (sesame street characters) it was a swimming party at My Aunt Becky's house. Everything went well, we ate, mingled, then opened presents, sang happy birthday, ate cake (which I made-above) and ice cream then went swimming, It was a nice birthday, we had about 32 guests.
For those who CARE to read the cake whoopla....here goes.
It all started when the lady who made Avery's 1st birthday cake, doesn't make cakes anymore. I needed to find someone to make her cake, I had an idea in mind, with characters jumping out of the cake, when I got a quote from the nearest bakery, stephen about had a heart attack, it was gonna be over $150.00~ he said, not for a cake.
So he somehow talked me into making this cake "from the heart" I agreed. I didn't realize how hard cake making actually is, getting cakes leveled, stacking on top the other, making homemade icing, etc. Then the characters, ugh......how was I gonna make those? what did I get my self into? Well LONG>>>>> story short.
After 2 weeks of making icing, practice cakes and trying to make characters.....I made the cake, it was SO stressful. I baked the cakes the night before, then Saturday morning it took 5 hours to assemble the cake....It was a SUCCESS.

Again girl, I am sooo impressed with your cake baking. It looked wonderful and I am sure it was much more sentimental than one you could have picked up at the bakery. So glad to get caught up on happenings with ya'll. We miss you too and wish you lived closer also. They girl's would definitely have a great time together! You look great and it seems things are going great there. Miss you and hope to continue to keep up with you here :)
