Cake!

Oh my so much cake! My mom needed 35 cakes for Camp to Belong. A camp that reunites foster kids with their siblings and they were all going to celebrate their birthdays at the same time. So I thought I had a brilliant idea, Me Hilly and Mem could make some cakes while having fun hanging out. I told my mom we could make three box cakes and cut them into ten mini two person cakes. Sounded simple enough right?

Well that idea faded pretty quickly. Mixing the ingredients and getting the cakes into the oven was the easiest part. Once they were cooked we let them cool, but I don't think we let them sit long enough. They all stuck to the bottom of the pans :(. Two were able to be saved somewhat but the third was just a mess! One was a bit too thin so we had to go to the grocery store to buy more cake and eggs.

We did more waiting and Emily had to go to dinner for her dad's birthday so Hil and I were left in charge. The next cake came out fine and this time we let it cool for way longer and it turned out perfectly! The last cake was a bit troublesome because the oven had turned off so it didn't bake so that one took really a long time, but turned out perfectly once we got things sorted out.

We were frosting the middles and outsides of every cake and we started to run out so we went to the store yet again. We bought frosting and were on our way. And of course we needed to buy three not two so we made a third trip to the grocery store and we finally were able to finish up our cakes!

The pile of cake Alfonzo ate.

We were finally done!
