Birthday Eve
After dinner, I threw all the kiddies into the bath,
Then they all wanted ice-cream, so we did that - then I was like, Ok girls, definately bedtime now (right after I get a group piccy)
After I got them all settled, I started on Hallie's cake. PLEASE don't laugh at my cake! I can't make cakes for crap, so I bought a few square sponges and thought I could whip something up no problems, can't be that hard, right? WRONG. I thought about this cute little design in my head.
Hearts - 2 of them. One big, and the smaller one on top. 2 different shades of pink. Smarties. Piece of cake! (pardon the pun) So, anyway. I cut out my hearts. Crap. Thought my beautiful icing should fix that up real nice.
Then came the icing. Who the bloody hell doesn't know how to make icing?? A quick call to Mummy, and I was on my way again. Too runny. First heart crap. Thought I'd learnt by my mistake with the 2nd lot of icing, and i tell you , it wasn't much better!!!! LOL
Ok, so I've put my two hearts together (crooked) and stood back to have a real good look at my masterpeice. Jorja was standing with me, like 2 old ladies checking out a bingo hall, and after a few minutes, I just cracked up laughing. Poor ol Jorja said "it's pretty, I like it". Bless her!
So you want to see a photo huh? I called mum after I made it and said that i might 'blog' it, but then said, "oh, you know what? I might just e-mail you a pic, and leave it out of the blog". LOL
Ok, here goes......... Some random shots. Remember that they are supposed to be heart-shaped. My first (and probably final) attempt at a cake deco
Oh well, at least I had a go hey! I'll get the award for "She tried her best". haha.
So it's now 9:40 and I can hear little snores all through the house, so i think i might join them! I'll be posting more photos tomorrow night.
Love and Happy Birthdays xxoo

It looks GREAT! Don't be so hard on yourself!
I did my first "masterpiece" for Lil's birthday this year, and after that I SWORE i'd get a how-to book before Lukey's birthday next year...
It's the effort that counts....isn't it? LOL!
Yours is beautiful, she'll love it!
Have a fun day!
There's nothing wrong with that cake. It's great.
I asked Dani earlier and she said it was beautiful, so there.
Your first attempt won't look like something out of Womans Weekly Birthday Book.
Beck - that was the result I was looking for!! haha. I said to Scott, if i talk it up like a big wad of crap, then the photos will be a pleasant suprise! Ha, it worked...
I hope it doesn't taste too sweet, there was SOOOO much icing sugar that went into that!
The cake looked wonderful.
Happy Birthday Hallie!!!!
Oi, was that a really small cake or fricking huge smarties?
LOL! Jes, I thought the same thing.. "Oh look - GIANT smarties!"
Haha - No giant smarties I'm afraid... yes, the cake was little!
