This year I decided I was going to make Hailey's birthday cake. I felt a little guilty about not having made any of her birthday cakes thus far. Can I make a cake? Yes. In the past I just wanted them to look great, match her theme and I didn't want to mess with the time it would take. So I can officially check this off my list. I haven't decorated a cake in years. Hailey loves cupcakes and sprinkles. I saw this giant cupcake and thought it was so cute. I spent half the day baking cupcakes, the main cake, then icing and decorating them. It was super simple but I stressed about it. There was definitely a "better side" to the giant cake! I don't think that side got captured in the photos but here is proof that I made her a birthday cake. The stop and start marks in the icing bother me but o-well. I will just have to try my hand at it another time. My sister was on the webcam watching me decorate it at the time. I felt like I was on a cooking show. In the end, Hailey loved it and that is what mattered. I was happy because it tasted good too!

Here is a picture of the giant one and the small ones in the background prior to decorating them. I also had more cupcakes. These are just the ones Brady helped put on the cake plate for me. The pink ones and blue ones were in high demand but it helped when one little girl said "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit." Made me laugh because I say that too sometimes.
