I suck at cake decorating and heres the proof
This is how it should look

Assembled and ready to ice

Oh Dear...


I have now decided to leave it to the professionals to do and have contacted a cake decorator in Hastings who is going to do the exact same cake for me for $80 and my SIL will pick it up in Friday night and bring it thru for the party on |Saturday.

I know I know I should have kept going and Bayden wouldn't have known the difference but I would have

Oh dear.....
You are right though, he would not have noticed...till he was a big kid and you would never have lived it down....I sound so mean can you tell I frequent TM forums? But you have made a good choice and look on the bright side....MORE CAKE to eat now!!
mwah!!!

LOL Lisa that is what I thought too hehe

Well here it is the finished cake, I think the lady has done a good job considering I only gave her two days notice and she had a sick child too

sorry bout the quality of the photo it is off a cellphone.

It does look good, but your one looked like it was taking shape too, a few decorations go a long way.

Hope the birthday goes well.

Well we had an awesome day yesterday, thankfully the party was inside as it was hosing down
Here are a few pics from the day
A better one of the cake

The Birthday boy

Opening one of the many pressies

The cake ended up looking good and I hope Bayden had a great day and yay for school on Monday!

Being I have not been on TM tonight I have to say the first cake doesn't really look that bad a bit more icing and a heated knife to spread and lollies are the trick (maybe a hint for next year?)

Hope you are all good. And don't forget tomorrow you ahve to go to school to collect your boy, he is not hiding down the farm with Dad ok!

LOL Lisa I wish it were that easy to forget where he is hehe, but alas he wont be at school today as he is still sick, he has got a mixture of the flu and a tummy bug, so when he has a coughing fit he ends up vomiting

Lets put it this way if the Doctor today says there is nothing they can do for him there is gonna be a doctor with very sore ears cause they are gonna get a rocket!!! It sucks to see your child in pain and there isn't a thing that you can do to help em.

Bayden's actual birthday isn't till this Thursday so he wouldn't have been starting school till prob Friday or Monday anyway, but I would like him to have a few days at kindy this week to say goodbye to his friends there.

Hugs Carley, hope wee Bayden is feeling better soon and off to school in no time!
And I think your cake wasn't too bad, I suck at cake decorating too but my kids have to live with it coz it's like a tradition in my family.

I'm glad Bayden had a nice party Carley

to him for tomorrow and he is all better for school on Monday

Happy Birtdfay Bayden!

Hope the day was nice Carley!

Congrats on trying to make a cake in the first time. I barely have time to bathe!

LOL
