The final Birthday cake in all it's glory

Oh my gosh not that it is a day later I am so regretting that I didn't take some home, rather I left the remains at my mother in laws house. It was actually pretty good.
The kids were drooling for it,
Oh happy 37 birthday my hunny.

The cake incident

Cake 911

That is what I get for bragging about baking a home made from scratch cake. What a disaster!! Can you see the picture, it was so dry I had to choke it down. There was no saving this puppy. So I tried again today. Here is the unfinished results of my cake today. It most likely is a flop as well as I couldn't get the egg whites to stiffen and then I added things at the wrong time and then my blender broke and I nearly splattered eggs everywhere, upon which time I used profanity that starts with s!!!! Those of you that know me know that I don't cuss but man alive I am covered it raw eggs and batter and who knows what. I have always been able to bake a decent cake but I think my bragging jinxed me or something. The frosting was a whole other issue, I didn't have syrup and enough butter, I even ran out of milk but you know what it is what it is. Currently cooling in the fridge. It is probably dry as the last cake and I won't know until Gary's whole family samples it. Did I mention it was for his birthday? Here are the pictures of my fiasco. Oh ya I forgot to add in the first cake and the first try Abby stuck her head in the batter. Nice.

Coolest Picture ever! I caught Abby's shadow

This a neat picture because in that brief second of running I was able to catch just Abbys shadow on the wall as she ran behind a tree. Like peter pan she needs to sew her shadow to her feet, it has gotten away from her.

She was opening the little doll I sent her. So cute.
