#2 Birthday Bash


I wanted to make the entire birthday cake for my son's 2nd birthday from scratch. I figured he really wouldn't mind if it didn't turn out. The theme of the party was Under The Sea, so I decided on and designed a fish cake.


I baked a big strawberry heart shape cake and a dozen cupcakes. The rest was a little unnerving for me as I didn't want to ruin the cake because once I cut it up, I didn't have time to start over.

My step mother-in-law was in town from Tucson and helped me get creative. We made up some great orange colored cream cheese frosting and then she gooped it all on. We added in the candy scales and face. I think it turned out well but I think that next year I am going to use a Wilton cake kit to help me out. That way I won't have to get so creative on my own and maybe it will look not quite so amateur.
