That was the original plan anyway. Emily wanted a Hawaiian cake for her birthday.
Ok, cool. We found this on pinterest and I decided I could pull that off. On my recent walk through the hood I scouted for yellow, orange and bright pink hibiscus flowers. Ready to go.
(These are probably made of gum paste or something but I had no intention of going down that road with the real McCoy so readily available!)
Then she found this one. Hmmm, two layers, two sizes, lots of artwork. I steered her away.
But wait! How bout this one...a nice combination of the two?
At this point, I'm simply begging her to pick a cake. Just pick.
I go get dressed and when I return, THIS is the new cake.
Wait...what? But I have the flowers all picked out...white frosting, real flowers, pick, stick, done. Nope, this is the one. But in the original colors of yellow, orange and pink.
Ok, here we go...
Bake
Make a batch of frosting
Stack
Make more frosting...when all is said and done, 7 sticks of butter, 12 cups of sugar, and one big mess!
Frost, frost, frost!
Take a break to go get your ears pierced!
Head to the playground
Tell your mom you are tired of her taking pictures
Enjoy!
Happy Birthday to my sweetest little girl!
