You're Only One Once

I really love decorating first birthday cakes. They're magical, mystical, and end up smashed up into babies' faces. There is truly nothing like them. Or turning one. Of course, nobody actually remembers turning one. That's what pictures are for.

My next series of blog posts will showcase baby's first birthday cakes. Enjoy the cuteness!



Wow, I have a much better camera now. These were taken on my old Olympus 35mm. Can you see that weird purple light streak? Anyway, this is about cakes NOT cameras. Here, we have my first at-home decorated first birthday cake. I've since gotten even better at the bear pan (pound cakes truly are better to use for this pan as they'll support the structure and retain the support better than a standard cake batter).

I love the baby "smash me" lion. Also, I will note that larger lion's mane was a little too soft and ended up melting off (just on the one side as seen in picture two). Ahhh! Still, you can't help but love that cute little lion face. Unless you're heartless. Seriously.

More cakes to come.

To be continued...Maybe

That's a(n? Are you British? We Yank's tend to drop the an before h rule) Hetalia reference. Okay, so I haven't given up on this blog. I love posting my cakes. I've just been sort of out of it (busy with work, etc.). Plus, it's been way too hot. Seriously.

Anyway, I do have plans for a new post. I plan on updating by next Thursday-at the latest. Till then, in honor of the one year anniversary of my Toronto trip to see Josh Groban, here's a picture of a tired and sweaty Gro-band.


Your Welcome.

Oh, and maybe you wanted to see some cool cakes. OK. Fine. Check out this "wicked cool" site: http://kotaku.com/caketaku/

Hope your lunch break's as nice as mine. Yogurt! Yeah!

P.S. Why does Blogger think I'm on Pacific time?
