The Cake

While we were baking the cake Bodie took a few naps and played with Noel and Aunt Teresa and watched Daddy mow. But he got tired of doing that, so Grandma Pat strapped him to her back while she made her frosting.


Here is the bottom of the cake. We placed it on a board with minty green polka dotted foil (Noel's fave color) topped with a mirror. It was a white cake with white frosting all the way around and then finished off with pink frosting on top. We added some pearls for accessories.


This is the middle layer. It was a funfetti cake. Don't EVER use a funfetti cake if you are trying to stack. It isn't sturdy enough. We had to add several toothpicks and a lot of prayers that it would hold up and not crumble over night. We chose Noel's favorite color for the middle layer. Then we embellished with green dots down the sides as well.


The top layer was also funfetti. It held together better because it was smaller and didn't have to hold anything else up. Pearls were added to this one as well.


Here is the whole finished cake as up close as I could get with out cutting one of the layers out of the picture.

This cake took us 12 hours from start to finish and when we were done, I wanted to cry a little because it was PERFECT and I was so tired. THANKS GRANDMA PAT FOR YOUR HELP!
