[...] is a baking day. I’m attempting to make a Bakugan birthday cake for my son. (Here’s last year’s Pikachu cake.) Gulp. I need the Cake Boss! Wish me luck and talk amongst yourselves. Posted in: Fun Printer [...]

This is what it is all about folks. It doesn’t get any better than family.

God and family: what make life worth living.

(Okay, there are other things, like Country, but let’s not get complicated here.)

I miss those days when my kids were little and I could do stuff like this for them.
Now, they are teens and store bought cakes for them. Easier on me but not as personal.

Michelle, enjoy this time with your little ones. It goes by so fast. Soon, you will be looking at pictures and wondering where the time has gone.

And one day, your little ones, grown to adulthood will remember the thoughtful things you did and be grateful.

You and your daughter did a beautiful job on your son’s cake, Michelle! Thank you for sharing this picture.

Very cool! It always tastes better when made with a mother’s love!

It reminds me of a birthday incident during my youth.

My Mom had made a homemade 3-layer yellow cake with chocolate frosting (my favorite!). Another relative had brought a store made cake with all the fancy swirls and fancy writing.

The adults decided to put the candles in the homemade cake because the other one was so darn pretty.

When candle-blowing-out time came around, I leaned across the table to blow them out, leaning my chest onto the fancy cake, which stuck to me as I stood back upright.

Sadly, there are no known photos of what has become known as “the cake incident”. But my Mom sure had a gleam in her eye as they peeled that cake off my sweater.

Thanks for the picture, Michelle. In order to get a cake like this, it might even be worth having birthdays again. Glad your son was happy; he’s got a great Mom.

Pika-chew?

Pretty darned impressive, Michelle. She writes, she blogs, she pontificates…she bakes!

Awesome. MM, you’re not only a right-thinking individual, you’re a great mom.

I still remember the homemade The Black Hole themed cake my mom made for me on my 7th birthday. Was it picture-perfect? No, not even to my young eyes. Still, it showed that she knew me, she knew what I liked and what mattered to me.

I hope your son loved his cake as much as I loved mine.

Ah – so that is what a Pikachu is supposed to be. Cute, I bet the little one loved it!

Of course, the cranky ol’ curmudgeon in me would still say go with a couple dollars worth of Duncan Hines cake mix and frosting instead!

Love the cake though, my daughters must have attended the same baking class as MM’s.
