Love and Lots of Sugar
I was going to put a small cake with the Nemo & anemone topper, on top of the cupcake tower, but then I didn’t. I was too busy making frushi and four dozen seagull heads.
Boo Yankees, etc etc etc.
This man just smacked my child’s leg on a train in Tokyo. Anyone know any Japanese I can use to tell him off?

Wedding cake #2. I delivered this one to a bar.
This 6” round cake had half a bottle of rum in it (between the frosting and the rum-caramel syrup that the cake is soaked in). My 7-year-old asked if he could eat some of the leftover frosting. I had to answer with an emphatic “Oh GOD no.”
My take on the “tree” cupcake-cake that’s all over Pinterest right now. (I’m doing this one again later this month, with leaves instead of blossoms.)
So, I was up until 2:15 last night. (Which I realize isn’t unusual for the average Tumblr user - I have been there! - but I have children after all.) I had a cake and a batch of cupcakes scheduled for today, and a wedding cake scheduled for tomorrow, but the wedding somehow ended up changing days at the last minute, and I all of a sudden had to have a wedding cake ready 24 hours sooner than originally anticipated. I had planned on baking it today and finishing it up tomorrow morning; I ended up doing it all last night. It took around 4 hours just to BAKE it. You can probably tell from this photo that the layers slid apart a bit because I didn’t wait long enough for them to cool before assembling them…what can I say, it was 1am. Stuff like that happens when things are rushed.
So, I poured some rum into a pot to make syrup to pour over a cake. Then I thought, NO, I should caramelize the sugar first! So I poured the rum back out of the pot, but didn’t rinse it before I attempted to caramelize the sugar.
Um, that may have been a mistake.
The new Tangled themed restrooms that just opened in Magic Kingdom. I have never been this excited over toilets before.
You guys, I never reblog stuff here and you know that, but these pictures made me so excited that tears came to my eyes. That usually only happens for previews of new movie musicals.
