Day 5 February 18, 2012

Cake decorating completely consumed the day today. It is literally ALL we did. I swear it will be a long time before I help do that again! We made a 2 tier square cake that was cow print on the bottom and red bandana on the top. Then we made a small circle cow print cake for Bentley to eat. First we had to bake the cakes, which took all afternoon on Friday and then we had to make butter cream and crumb coat all the cakes. After they were cooled, we made fondant which is extremely difficult to knead and roll into a thin sheet. After the fondant was on came the most unbearable part; decorating the bandana tier. Tiny little paisleys everywhere with squiggly lines and little holes...oh it was crazy. The cow print part was really cool though because it was easy and looked so awesome. The finished product was great. I was really impressed with Becky's handy work and I couldn't have asked for a better first birthday cake for Bentley. Despite all the complaining it seems I just did, I had a blast spending the day with the Wrays decorating that cake. It will always be a great memory
