Happy Cinco de Mayo!

We can officially celebrate now that it is past midnight and is now the 5th of May!! I don't normally celebrate this day but since B's class is having a parade, I thought I would join the celebration. ha ha I found this cake online and thought it would fit right in. Since I don't want a dull life, I try to make cakes such as this. I am happy with the way it turned out. I have no idea how I am going to get it to his school in one piece in the morning, but I will figure that out then.


I hear footsteps upstairs, so this may not get completed before someone is coming down here...


Before (it is a confetti cake mix - the reason it looks like a Christmas fruit cake)
After

I am completely overwhelmed by your home-ec-y-ness. Good job you...

I am not sure it is home-ec-y-ness! More like insanity. I see a picture of a cake, B's class is studying Mexico & having a cinco de Mayo parade; and I think it is a great idea to make this cake myself. The icing alone took two hours to put on the cake. That doesn't count making the stuff and the two cakes. Oh well, he enjoyed it. I just need to simplify my life and not think all ideas I see are ones that I should attempt to do myself! Thanks though...
