My little pony cake...

That's Elizabeth's 4th birthday cake.

I think I'm getting more comfortable making these fondant things!

The first time I took like a week to prepare the cakes, crumb coat them, then cover and decorate...

Now the process takes just over a day! In fact, baking and cooling the cakes on the same day as the decorating is quite alright too! My main limiting factor is probably the oven. It takes only 1 layer at a time.

This cake is a My little pony cake. I thought I was going to get away with not making E a cake this year because my dear brother volunteered to get her cake for the party.

But my dear sister brought it up and asked for a My little pony cake since that's a current hit with the kids at the moment. ( Blame it on Youtube )

Chris insisted we try to make the fondant from scratch this time too.. amazing that he's into cake decorating now...

We found the recipe online and we bought the ingredients. Surprisingly, he actually rolled up his sleeves and made the fondant himself!

Which surprisingly turned out really well, and he was right, it did taste alot better than the commercial stuff.

In other news... Annika was supposed to have gone on her first real school outing to the zoo today.
She had been looking forward to it, and had surprisingly remained sickness free for the past 2 weeks.

And of course, she had to start puking last night out of the blue.

And spike a temperature this morning. So no zoo outing for her.

I have to confess that I have this phobia of puke. I cannot deal with puke, not even mine. Last night when she randomly decided to upchuck it was lucky Warni was around to take care of it. Swiftly she cleaned up the mess and the kid.

My job was to get the meds and get them into Annika fast.

I just pray my kids have iron stomachs that don't get into gastro trouble too much.
