Remember this ugly thing?

This cake is my least favorite cake I have ever made. I hated it. Making it wasn't fun and I find it hideous. To refresh your memory, this is a cake of the Brazilian Flag that I made for Matt's co-worker that served his mission in Brazil. So, Thursday Matt called me and said that his same co-worker wanted to order a cake same day and that he wanted another Brazilian Flag for his wife's birthday because she is from Brazil. Matt and I both just started laughing. It was probably not a good idea for me to agree to make a cake the same day because things went crazy. I only had 6 hours to get the cake baked, decorated, and delivered. Seriously, what was I thinking? Well, to make things worse- the first cake I made fell apart and I had to start over. Time is running out on me and I didn't have any supplies to make icing, etc. So, in the middle of everything else going wrong I had to find time to get to the store to buy some powdered sugar and other things to decorate. This would have been 'a piece of cake' a month ago but now I have two kids to run around and Sienna just happened to be sleeping at the time. Okay- long story short with a lot of help from my friend I got it done.

This is the first ugly cake.

Here is the second attempt. I think it came out much better but I'm still not in love with it.

Here is the second cake I made this weekend. Our friend Brooklyn had a Curious George birthday party on Saturday that was tons of fun.

Isn't that a cute face? She really smiles so much. She is laughing at us because we had to speak in church today.
