Emma is 6 today. It doesn't seem possible! We went to her party last Saturday. It was fun to see everyone. She starts the first grade tomorrow.
I have decided that I need to do simpler, single layer cakes. Here is what it looked like when I finished it at home.
Yes, it is very crooked. More like the leaning tower of birthday cake. The problem is that it was four full squares of cake with a fifth square cut into quarters on top of that. I placed a dowel down the center of it to stabilize it. But here is what it looked like four hours or so later when we brought it out.
It had kind of started to collapse on itself. When I removed the top cone it had sunk about 3 - 4 inches. It was awful. Emma just smiled and said, it's okay. She blew out the candles and we ate about 1/16th of it. There was so much cake there. It was kind of gross.
I hope that Emma has a great birthday and a great upcoming school year. Love ya Em!

It was NOT gross! We all loved it! Thank you again!!
I hope you don't mind that I jumped to your blog from Jessi's. You can jump to mine if you want. I've made several cakes that look like yours for Emma. I don't do layer cakes anymore :)
