This was simpler when my mother in law was making them. I'm a pro at cupcakes but I haven't figured cakes out yet. I can bake them but they never look right when I try to decorate them!
We went into Cinderella Cakes last weekend and sampled their cakes. I took Noah and Abie. They loved them, especially the red velvet. So they can do the cake, but it is a little more than I would like to spend.
I love Susie's cakes in Newport Beach. They are an old fashioned style bakery so they couldn't do anything fancy with fondant. Another issue is the drive. Not sure I want to be driving to Newport the day of the party.
To save money I thought maybe I could make a cake and cupcakes. Now I am rethinking that decision.
I found an easy cake to make on familyfun.com and tried it today. I see why the bakeries charge so much. To make the cake look like a race track, you have to cover it in sprinkles. My kitchen is a disaster. It doesn't look all that great. And all those sprinkles do not taste good.
Aghhh...

My floor is a mess
