Missing Cakes, Part Two

Just a few more imperfect birthday desserts. . . with some commentary.


My (poor) attempt at Lord Baltimore cake. Next year: Dark Lord Baltimore cake!


Banjo birthday


All lemon, all the time!


I think this is the 3rd or 4th zebra ice cream cake for the child.




We played around with royal icing to make hard decorations.


Store-bought (on vacation)


Brownies never disappoint, right?

And now I'm caught up with birthday "cakes."



Missing Cakes, Part One

 I don't give my blog much attention lately; I've decided it's more important to give the attention to my family. But I would like to continue posting occasionally. Some of my favorite types of posts are the ones that show the unprofessional and imperfect birthday cakes I make for my children. 

(Remember: Kids can have happy birthdays without the perfection others show us online.)

It's been a couple of years that I've failed to post cake pictures, so I have many pictures. I'll break them up into a couple of posts. The funny thing I noted while looking through the forgotten pictures is that many of them aren't even cakes. And one birthday didn't even get a special dessert, so I didn't have a picture. And once I forgot entirely to photograph a birthday cake. Imperfect, indeed.


Fresh strawberries are easy decorations.


German Chocolate


Black Forest-- The Portal edition


Another construction cake


Christmas-themed cake


This child loves her zebra ice cream cakes!
