One of the many secrets no one tells you when you have children is how much birthday cake you will be involved with.
You’d think it would be one cake per year, but that would be wrong. Because there’s the cake on their actual birthday. And then the cake on the day of their party. And then, because these things never line up on the same day, you need to make cupcakes for school. That’s three cake related items. I don’t care if you’re baking or buying, that’s just exhausting.
Here is the cake for the birthday party. After all these girlie cakes, I’m ready for a topic that’s a little less, well, PINK.
On a side note, if you ever think about strategically placing edible silver stars on the sides of a cake, stop right now. About ten stars into placing them on the sides of the top tier, I knew I had just signed up for an hour of tedious work. It took me about 15 seconds to sprinkle them on the top of the cake, which was just as effective and didn’t leave me with a big cramp in my hand.
For those of you who have been around for a long time, you might remember that same cake from here. Can you believe I saved those parts for four years? Now up for grabs—any takers?
Anyway, yay! It got the four-year-old stamp of approval.
