Oops

Oops, I forgot to post a picture of the Sesame street cake I spent a day creating. Madeline is really into the Sesame street characters (hence the Abby puzzle and character pj's seen in her birthday post). Conveniently, Sesame Street comes on while Hannah and I are working on reading/phonics.


I am very rusty, as my cake muscles don't get exercised very often these days. Needless to say this was not my best cake. The characters turned out well, but it was like trying to ice an avalanche after the top layer did not get centered. Therefore, icing it smooth was out of the question, because the cake just kept falling apart. I had to settle for iced and standing-- but not very pretty. Thankfully Madeline had specifically requested that Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby be on her cake-- it was busy to say the least. Though I was disappointed with the outcome of my day's labor, Madeline made my day when she exclaimed,"Oh mommy, it's unbelievable! I can't believe it!"
