In the last few weeks I have enjoyed a few cake decorating conversations with family & friends. The conversations reminded me that my cake decorating hobby was a big part of last year's adventures and I miss doing it! I decided to look for opportunities to use my boxes of supplies & practice what I had learned.
A day or two later my friend mentioned her son's birthday party...BINGO! I offered to make the cake for the party & asked what he was into...guess what she said?
TOY STORY
2 layers of yellow cake
{4 cake mixes, no I did not make from-scratch cakes}
covered in vanilla flavored buttercream frosting
chocolate in between the two layers
{yes, the frosting is homemade--can't beat homemade frosting!}
Edible embellishments & a few non-edible ones as well...
I couldn't find the extras I was looking for so I used a package of Toy Story stickers to really make it all come together {& cover up unsightly frosting blemishes: HA!}--slapped them on colorful cardstock, laminated, & vwa la!
I spent this morning baking, mixing, designing, & frosting.
{Should have done it last night, but that's the procrastinator in me winning the duel}
And, I had a blast!
{Also made notes of what kind of kitchen I want when we buy a house, & had several moments of silence in memory of my Wisconsin kitchen counters...oh I miss them!}
Special thanks to: Trevor my loving husband who wrestled the toddler & carried the baby around (& later helped me clean up the mess), Bradan for having a birthday & giving me a reason to break out the cake decorating boxes, & Mom for always encouraging me to keep up the cake decorating! :)

very very cute! Nice (no...awesome!) job!!! I think I could just eat a big bowl of the frosting. yum.
I want to eat it right this second. Great job! I love the feeling that comes with creating. Best thing in the world.
Thanks for sharing our link. It helps create more traffic and more donations! THANK YOU.
Love it! :)
That cake is spectacular!! It truly is. You have such talent. Right down the littlest detail. It all ties together so well. Love the "font" styles you used! I know that's not right when you're talking about a cake, but you get the idea! ;-)
