Birthday Cake?

Mar/17/08 11:37 AM Filed in: THIS IS OUR LIFE
I was a lame wife this year on J's birthday. For many reasons, which you don't care about, we didn't get to have a propper celebration of the day J was born. We didn't even get to have cake! Well, we decided that yesterday was as good a day as any for birthday cake...so thanks to my friend, Betty Crocker, I whipped up J's favorite cake - lemon cake with lemon frosting. We invited our dear friends, the Anthony's, to come over after church last night and enjoy some In 'n' Out (or Inside Out, as my nephew called it) and lemon cake.

I had baked the cake before we left for church and planned to frost it when we got home. I turned the pan over onto my cake stand to remove the first layer of the cake... which broke in half.

"Not to worry," I thought to myself, "you can't see the bottom layer of a layer cake."

So I layered on some frosting and grabbed the top cake layer which essentially crumbled as it came out of the pan. Sigh.

"Ok. Don't panic...just cover it with frosting"

The frosting only made it worse. Before long it looked more like a pile of leftovers than a cake. Then Michelle came to the rescue and did her best to recover my mess. Here was the result -

Here was the song that went with the cake pile.

Heppy berfday to you!
Here's a big pile of poo!
Heppy berfday dear Johnny
I really do love you!

The cake actually tasted really good and we had a great time with the Anthonys, laughing at the pictures in the post below. We're going to make up for all of the birthday lameness by taking a birthday trip to Disneyland next week.

J did get some great gifts. Probably his favorite was from Matt, who sent him a Walther P22 Pellet Gun. Oh. Boy.
