I started off this busy Friday by helping out in Hunter's classroom this morning. A neighbor friend watched Austin and Ella. On the short ride across the street Austin wanted to be buckled into Hunter's seat and Ella wanted to sit in Austin's seat.
Then Austin had to check out my seat.
I got their lunch ready and started my long 12 hour cake making process. First I made homemade chocolate cakes. I was happy they all came out of the pan easily!
Ella being silly.
Hunter being silly.
Chris and Hunter kept asking to try some cake. So, when I shaved off the tops of the cake everyone got to try some. Hunter being silly, again...
I made four batches of butter cream frosting. It was so delicious!
Here are the cakes and most of the cupcakes waiting to be frosted.
Austin had to try out the frosting as well!
Right around bedtime I had this much of the cake decorated. I used all three cakes to make this main base. I used the homemade butter cream frosting to frost in between each layer and on the inside...then ready made fondant to make the stars and man eating critters.
Last picture of my five year old boy!
It was not until close to 11pm when I finished the mushroom cupcakes. It took forever to frost 40 plus cupcakes! (not all shown in the picture)
It was just about midnight when I finished the cake. The only thing I had left to do was the writing, but I wanted to wait until the morning to do that!
These two pictures were technically from 2/11/12, but I'm including them on this post, because I was up well past midnight. I had to rearrange the fridge and the shelves to make all of this fit.
Cake and cupcakes all put up for the night!
I thought I was going to have dreams about cake and frosting...but, I guess was too tired to dream. My wrists hurt though...cake baker, I am not! But, Hunter wanted me to make a Mario cake, and that's what I did!
