Evan's birthday is a few weeks away and I decided that to be a good mom (like my mom who always decorated our bday cakes) I had better learn how to decorate cakes. David's was just a pumpkin which was easy but there aren't pumpkins in June. Evan isn't really into anything but he LOVES bath time so I'm making a bathtub cake. A girl in my ward does cakes and came over to show me some beginner tips. This is the bottom part of my first bathtub. (the yellow and orange globs are supposed to be ducks.) We had the missionaries over for dinner that night and they were impressed with how it looked but they're missionaries and they only care about how it tastes. It was easier in some ways than I thought it would be but I'm certainly not very good yet. So anyway on Evan's 9" round personal cake he'll get a mini version of the 9x13 cake. In the end is he going to care I put a bathtub on his First Bday cake - no, but maybe when they're older it may be fun to choose what's on their cake. By the way, I used butter cream frosting (from scratch) and it was DELICIOUS!!! I'm sooo glad I made a double batch. I cannot get enough of it!!! I saved Robert 1/2 of the last piece of cake. Oops.
