Tomorrow is my wonderful Grandma Rosie's birthday. She's going to be 68 years young and active! So naturally, it was time for a cake. She loves card games, casino games, poker, and bingo, so I wanted to incorporate any of those. If you can't tell, I decided on doing playing cards with the numbers of how old she will be. Again, our A/C is still broken, so the cakes were sweating a little bit as you can see in the picture. But that was the least of my problems of baking tonight. I was going to use chocolate covered oreos as poker chips, but when I added the food coloring to the melted chocolate on the double boiler, it started chunking up. I burnt 2 batches! Obviously I gave up on that task and settled for just the cards. I used a different recipe of cake mix and it was not working out, my icing would NOT stick and kept pulling away my cake! I don't feel like this was my best work, but my grandma will love it. Happy Birthday Grandma! Love you!
SARAH! OH MYYYYY. I just read all of your posts and I'm blown away (and so jealous) of your cake decorating skills! I had NO idea that you were even into that, let alone amazing at it! I'm not just saying all of this because you're my cousin either.. you truly have a gift :D Please tell Krista I said happy birthday and the other day I bought Hello Kitty band-aids and have two on right now... (bug bites and attempting to sew). Also, congrats to you and your dance team! That cake to grandma is so so so clever and totally her, it made me laugh. haha. I feel like I'm missing out on so much... I really do need to come around more often.
