Happy Cake

Who doesn't love cake?

Everyone loves cake.

Or at the very least, the icing.

When I was first working, I decided I needed a hobby to offset the stress of my day.

So off I went to Michaels in search of one.

Michaels is the BEST! I love it there!

I could get lost in the aisles.

Especially with a 40% OFF coupon!

Who couldn't?

Well I decided to take a cake decorating course.

I loved it. I learned a lot.

I however didn't really excel in it.

It's not that I wasn't good or that I wasn't inspired.

I just like the quick and easy--"Look! I'm an expert in one class!" approach.

So now I just dabble.

I take what I've learned and just play around.

So when I saw this on The Crafty Crow and it lead me here;

And then eventually to Bethany Actually where I found this great tutorial,

I thought--now there's a way to make a showstopping impression!

And anyone can do it!

Well I taught sunday school this past Sunday and the story was about Joseph and his coat of many colours.

PERFECT!

Yes! They really were that bright!

And I think all the colours made them taste better.

The kids LOVED them!

So I had lots of icing leftover.

Grandma was coming today for a Mother's Day Tea with Pumpkin at Preschool.

HMMMM...
Let's make cake!

So we did!

Beautiful cake!

With what was supposed to be rainbow icing...

But when you s-p-r-e-a-d rainbow icing instead of pipe rainbow icing,

you get muddy brown icing with a hint of rainbow.

Doesn't matter.
Pumpkin had fun.

And Grandma felt so special.

And the little Happy Mother's Day topper?

Well I made it from this free printable tag.

I made it smaller and printed 2.

Cut them out and glued them together with a toothpick sandwiched inside.

Talk about pizzazz!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!
