I really did make a birthday cake. from scratch, believe it or not. but it still sunk a little in the middle. and I even followed the high altitude instructions. the recipe did say to use three 8-inch round pans and I only used two...well, that's all I had! maybe that was the issue.
anyway, it was a yellow cake. with real vanilla buttercream frosting. and it was sooo delicious. the kids were even impressed. in fact, I should make cakes from scratch more often!
here's birthday boy lighting his own candles. just don't look too closely at the cake. I am certainly not a cake decorator in any way, shape or form. good thing for the low lighting!
in other news: I spent this past week devoting myself to learning my mac, playing around with CS4 (a photo editing program) that I'm still not 100% comfortable with yet, organizing my photos, perusing photo blog upon photo blog, and I even learned how to make a picture slideshow and upload it on vimeo, which I may have to share with you next week. so, stay tuned!
and I'm desperately hoping this baby shows up today:
until next week,
-jessica
