So, last Wednesday (St. Patricks Day), it was our nieces first birthday! The little Irish Princess is already one! It's hard to believe how fast she's growing. With that being said, her party was held on Saturday. Of course I made the cake! I asked my sister-in-law if I could.
Friday night I decided after the kids were in bed that I'd make the cakes and decorate it. I mean, how long could a cake really take to make??? Well, the kids went to bed later than usual, and then the procrastination started.... instead of making the cake right away, we decided to watch a movie. So after the movie was done, it should have been bed time (key word... should have). I finally had the batter mixing and then realized I never doubled the recipe. At this point I believe it was 10pm. After I had the first pan in, I mixed a new batch and baked it. After cooling the cakes, it was nearing midnight. Hey, I should be known for leaving things to the last minute.... Finally at 2:45am, the cake was finished! Only, it was one layer since the second cake cracked quite badly... bummer. In the long run, it turned out great! I even had my first pair of Mary Jane's on top! The fondant shoes were much easier than I thought!
I have another cake to deliver Saturday. I think I've learnt my lesson about starting things late.
