lol then you will hate playing the 100 babies challenge because if you have the parenthood expansion; you are required to stop what you are doing and discipline kids when they do something wrong. What annoyed me was after disciplining the kid and make them clean up the mess; they just go ahead and do it again in another spot anyways.
Nice cake!! Your hubby did a great job. The cake had risen nicely and the middle still looks moist. The cake looks big for a packet cake; did he use two packets? Looks better than my first cake I assembled for my partner. (see below) I didn't have an oven so I bought all the parts and I didn't even have enough ready made frosting to cover the whole cake. Cost more to build this cake than to buy one already made lol. But I did make it up to him with a better soccer cake a couple years later.
I love how the cake is cut into two. I would have thought twins usually just share a cake; but then again they would enjoy it more if they had their own candles to blow out.
I made a minecraft cake for my nephew's 7th birthday several years back. It took me weeks to prepare it; from design to assemble. Was going post all my baking stuff in order on steemit; however considering I haven't really been posting; I'll share it with you.
This cake is a big and heavy cake; had to bake 2 cakes (edit; 2 cakes; not 3) to make it; usually its just 1 cake; dam you minecraft and your cubes. The cake topper I made as a keepsake; my nephew ended up throwing it away some time later. What a waste of my effort and time; and he dared to complain to me 2 years later I didn't make him a birthday cake that year like I did last year. pfft kids lol. Told him it was 2 years ago; not last year; and he didn't even appreciate it; didn't eat a piece or keep the cake topper like he suppose to; so he wasn't getting another cake from me. lol. well not another fancy cake like this. He just laughed because he knew where I was coming from lol
Anyways; the cake design doesn't end here. The cake opens after you cut it.
I made caves inside with sparkly gems and a mini version of the guy (don't know his name). Don't get me wrong, my nephew loved the cake at the time of reveal and singing. But he didn't even eat a piece; just went back to playing games.
Anyways; there's my rant for the day. Thank goodness I only made a fancy cake once per family member; not every year; except for my sister's kids since she bakes too. But I know what you mean by those fancy cakes that looks amazing yet tastes horrible; its the type of fondant they use; easier to use but tastes horrible; and the cakes are super sweet as well. I stayed away from those fondants. If I can't stand eating them; then there is no way I would use them on my cakes; even if I dont eat it.
Do you know he made me ham and cheese croissants today?
Did he at least toast it? lol
Oh; you should get magic candles for your daughters' next birthday.
They would love it. Be sure to record their reactions and get ready for the smoke alarm to go off lol
WOW....I shared this on my FB post comments, an amazing cake like that deserves to be shared!!! My daughter told me that the topper guy is Steve. I never did get around to sharing my daughters' Facebook creations with you. When I have a moment, I might put together a post in response to that amazing awe-inspiring cake...
I mean WOW again!!!
It's a shame you are sharing your master creations in my comment section. They should be properly showcased in their own post. I'd hang out here more if you were actually more active and posting again! But I think with all this latest tribal business, it has my eyes rolling some more with 'cannot be stuffed figuring it all out'. lol
Of course it was toasted, else I'd have made it myself. I am that lazy. And hubby said it was 2 packets. He loved your cake, we all did! <3
Thanks guys.
I just had a look at my sketched design and measurements and it was 2 cakes; not 3 that I had baked to make this cake. Can't believe I went into so much detail and effort when I was sketching out designs lol; especially considering I can't draw. If I had known my nephew was going to throw out the cake topper; I would have asked for it back. It was a cool design. It took me a while to figure out how to create a floating tree because Steve took a piece out in the middle. (Thanks to your daughter for his name)
I do have a facebook page dedicated to my baking products; when I stopped baking/posting; I just left the page as it was. But there wasn't really much information about the creations or back story to them. Which was what I was aiming to do here; but obviously gave up.
Can't wait to see what your daughters created; they are very creative from what I've seen so far.
You have a FB baking page?! How long have I harassed you about getting onto Facebook and to save me the trouble of crossing over to here? I might have to give you access to soju's super secret facebook account... ;)
But on a serious note, we should be sensible about the pros and cons of the differing platforms. I feel people lose their objectivity over here and it is not the utopia those most invested make it. If your goal is for reach a diverse range of people to find those gems, which is my goal, then Facebook has more than done this for me. Anyway, I was going to PM you this, but here is as good a place.
OMFG...How ugly?!?!
I dont know if I would want that helm.....lol doesn't help to motivate me to try to complete the challenges.
oh come on! I think we should do it just so we can get a selfie of our witches with matching purple rock heads...🤣🤣🤣
