The birds were Angry before. Now they're Ashamed.

It was the boy's sixth birthday on Sunday. I know, right? SIX. I tried to negotiate with him to be five again (because I really enjoyed his five year old self) but we put it to a family vote and majority ruled he should be six. Maia voted for him to be a baby again. Other than cake and presents, it was pretty much business as usual.

Oh, cake you say?..... Welcome back 'terrible baking' tag.

Inspiration from here. I dunno, a bit 'meh'.

  1. Unlike clothes, it's not what cakes look like that counts. Mine always look like crap, but they generally taste pretty great. I do think you should stick to the sewing thing though...

  2. Look, the main thing is, there is one helluva lot of chocolate icing on there. And THAT'S WHAT COUNTS. When you're 6.

  8. I read this like half an hour ago and I am still laughing. I will probably wake up laughing about it in the middle of the night and find I've peed myself a little bit.

  9. I love your cakes!
    As the family cake baker I am always amazed at how tolerant everyone is about quality of the "design" as long as they get to eat it!

  13. This makes me feel better after seeing your perfect, multi-step cake pops. But I accuse you of doing this intentionally just to have an awesome nailed it picture.

  14. Love the nailed it photo! I'm also a terrible baker and have embarrassed my son with my dismal attempts. Maybe there's a support group available?
