Cake #3: Birthday Bowling Ball


     Hello there, I realize now that there may be a lot of birthday cakes or ball cakes. Since we've already had a "birthday" "baseball" cake and this is a "Birthday" "Bowling ball" cake". So, let's start with what's going on. It's Friday night, and we didn't have school today, so i spent the whole day looking for, and trying to get the pics of this cake. My mom's pic program kept freezing, most of the pics were blurry, and I couldn't find them on our computer that we keep pics on. I'm telling you, the further back we go, the harder it is to find these pics.
     So, this cake was the birthday cake for David's 1st birthday party in May of 2009. Yes, that is the next cake after Kyle's 5th birthday in 2010. Well, it's the next documented one. This cake, was another one of those over-night cakes. We were up all night making this thing. It's, as you can see, two bowling pins and a bowling ball. Mom made an all vanilla cake and then cut it in half and then shaped it into a bowling pin. No, outline and no already-made pans. She did it all herself with a knife. The bowling ball was chocolate and used the same pan that she used for the baseball cake.
     The vanilla and chocolate frosting was...-_- store bought but the yellow frosting was mom's butter cream. Yes, she does make butter cream a lot! The setting of this cake was the Concourse bowling alley in Anaheim. I don't think...actually I'm pretty sure that David couldn't walk yet but he was sure enjoying the bowling ball, don't ya think?  
     So, before I close for tonight I'd just like to address that one problem that I heard off of my Mom's Facebook. I am aware that you guys want to upload pics or recipes of things your family has cooked. I did find an upload gadget but, unfortunately, it is not working so please don't try to upload anything and I am working on fixing it. 
     Until next week!

Cake # 2: Birthday Baseball


     Hey guys, this week's post is going to be short and sweet. In light of recent events, i really haven't had the time to write anything good. Actually, it's Halloween and I'm sitting here with Noelle, my friend from school, and trying to come up with something to write. But, before i start, please keep my great Uncle's soul in your prayers.
     Alrighty, this week's post is about my brother's 5th birthday cake, that i believe was filled with ice cream. Now, let me warn you, the further away from the current date, the less and less I'll probably remember the cakes :). OK, so the most i can tell you is that, Kyle was playing baseball for the ... i can't remember if it's the Oregon Ducks or the As... well, he was playing baseball and we had a party at Tri-City Park, right next door to where he plays, and he invited his school friends and his baseball friends.
     So, my mom made both a cake and cupcakes, both in the shape of baseballs. The frosting was my moms famous butter cream and the lettering was another, colored, version of the same butter cream. It was red and blue. Then mom made a gel frosting and wrote "B-Day" on the cake.
     Now, i don't remember the type of ice cream that was inside of the cake so... but i know that the cakes were both vanilla flavored. So, until next week, please enjoy the other entrys.
     P.S. Just a warning for Christmas, these aren't really cakes but my mom makes these delicious cookies that you're going to want to hear about, so be warned :) :)
