I don't like store bought cake... I don't like the frosting made of grease, the texture of the cake, etc. So I make my own cakes (sometimes from scratch, sometimes boxed-- but I still think better than grocery store cakes--premium bakery cakes are another story... they're good but very expensive). Anyway... my cake decorating has gone from slightly below average to Ridiculously, embarassingly terrible. Pictures to prove point:
Sav's first bday... definitely looks homemade, but isn't too bad.
her 3rd b-day... tried some piping and new techniques. Learned cream cheese frosting doesn't decorate well. this is suppose to be a carousel cake. dorky attempt but still looking okay (and very homemade right)
Nomi's first birthday... this is getting embarassing.
last night's attempt. cake completely didn't come out of pan
tried to salvage it. Ridiculous! See, every attempt I've made is worse!
This cake did not make an appearance at the birthday party (it's suppose to be Hello Kitty)
Luckily I had made cupcakes also.
Savannah didn't know what to say to this cake. She didn't even want to blow out the candles or eat any. Oh well.
Birthday cookies from now on I guess.
(I really hope this makes someone else laugh because I was laughing so hard I was in tears when I saw my finished product... even now it makes me laugh looking at the stupid picture. My poor kids--I'm hopeless).

Ha ha, at least you TRY, and that is what the kids will remember. And you totally made me laugh. The hello kitty cake is priceless. You should make it when she is older so she can laugh with you instead of refusing to eat it!
Oh Natalie, Natalie, Natalie!! Your mom just keeps laughing at your great Hello Kitty cake!! Really all it needed was some Reeses cups for the eyes instead of green M&M's.
Well I think they are great and they at least make for a great story! I do have to laugh at your hello kitty cake. Good things kids don't care what it looks like!
You are so stinking funny, Nat. I am laughing too. But I don't think they are that bad. :) The kids love them I'm sure and I bet they taste great. You are adorable! And hilarious.
