New Cake Posted

I just posted a new cake to my CAKE BLOG. This is one that has been done for quite some time but I am just getting around to posting it. I know I know have been so bad this summer. Take a look if you want.

Preschool Graduation

Now that summer is almost over and school is about to begin again, I am finally getting around to posting Lil' E's Preschool Graduation. This would be the year that I get all teary eyed as I bid preschool goodbye and send my little boy off to kindergarten. However, after much thought we have decided that Lil' E would do better if given one more year of preschool before heading off to Kindergarten. He makes the age cut, but we just feel that he is still too young. He definately looks old enough. He has always been the "big" kid in class and many don't realize that he actually is younger than he looks. We did have to bid Head Start goodbye and now say "Hello" to Little Montessori. He is really excited to move to another school and have Doble attend as well. I am looking forward to the change, but do know that I am going to miss Teacher Betsy. What a great teacher she was for Lil E. I really felt that she LOVED Lil E and wanted to make his preschool experience a good one. She worked very hard with him with his speech and other areas that he struggled with. "Goodbye Teacher Betsy. You will be missed by the Party of Five" Lil E receiving his diploma

His shy, buy "cool" look

Our proud little graduate.
Way to go bud you do make us proud.

Lil' E's Cake is Posted

Lil' E turned five on the 4th but we waited to celebrate with cake and icecream until today. He has been asking for a shark cake for the past 3 months. However for the past two days he has been a little cranky. I have warned him over and over that if he didn't change his attitude and start listening to mommy, his shark cake would be turning into a tinkerbell cake. Well today he and his brother got a little out of hand and broke one of my willowtree figures. I told him that was his last warning about the cake and sent the two up to their beds for a nap. While he napped I came up with a Fairy cake as a trick. I frosted a shoe box with pink frosting and put one of Razy's fairies on top and then put some Rhodys on it...Do not eat Rhodys they are POISONOUS! The cake was not meant to be eaten so I thought the Rhodys were an easy decoration in crunched time.

We sent the kids out to play and had them come in for cake and icecream. This is what Lil' E came into see sitting on the table.

He took one look at the cake and quickly turned around and walked out of the house. No tears (yet) or words. Just a turn and leave.
I ran out to follow him. I asked him what the matter was and why he was upset. He told me..."I don't like it. I don't want to see it." I told him to come back in and I was sorry for making a fairy cake, but I had told him that it would happen if he couldn't change his behavior. My dad came out to help me and I went back in. He got him to finally come in and told him to really think about what he wanted his cake to look like and make a wish...

It still took him a lot of courage to look. He DIDN'T want to see a pink cake

He finally looked and the sadness had changed to joy!

After the whole ordeal he wanted to cut the pink cake for the girls....Ooops sorry no can do to a box. He got a kick out of that.

Yes I know that this probably places me into the running for world's worse mom of the year. But now we all...yes even Lil' E laugh at the whole thing. The REAL cake made him forget about the whole thing. To see pictures of the REAL cake follow the link below. There is also a recipe found at the end of the post of the Shark Cake.

TACKLE it TUESDAY!! **Baby Shower Cake**

This week's tackle is a Baby Shower cake that I made for a party tonight. The baby's name is Riley. She was born last Monday. The mommy didn't have any preferences on the cake, just that it was chocolate. She told me to surprise her. So I went with what I knew I would like...Pink and Brown. I wisha that the pictures gave justice to the true colors of the cake.
