For Kami's family birthday party with the Hunts, I decided to try my hand at baking... I am definitely not going to get a job on Ace of Cakes anytime soon! I did, however, make the cake from scratch (no boxed cake mixes here)... also not a good idea! Nevertheless, this was the outcome, a double layer, vanilla filled yellow-pinkish cake! (She wanted a pink cake, I did the best I could!) So what that the cake looks like the San Andreas Fault Line, and that the top layer was two inches short on either side, don't I deserve some points for caring about my little girl enough to make her a cake?! What? I would have been better off buying my cake at the bakery??? Well check this out!! This is what came out of that cake, and by the way... It tasted great! At least according to my eight year old niece Summer, and she knows everything!
Not so bad... huh?!! She loved it, by the way, although I never asked her about the taste... I don't think I will!! Happy Birthday Kami, my beautiful five year old!!

Baking cakes from scratch is hard! They taste so much better than a box though. So proud of my little baker Brandi!
You go GIRL! I once made RIck a chocolate/chocolate cake from scratch. It was not an easy thing to do. And getting the frosting consistency and taste just right was tough. What a GREAT mommy you are for caring so much!
Brandi, I must say...I am impressed! Way to go. Once you have a break from baking and cake decorating and such, will you pick up the phone and call your long lost pal, please?!! (Remember...Nicia Esplin...lived in Del Rio...was your "visiting teacher"...any of that ring a bell?) :)
