I decided to make cupcakes, though my oldest daughter thought her little sister should have a "real" cake for her second birthday. (I always make cupcakes for my children's first birthdays.) I had some extra batter which I poured into a Pyrex bowl. I used the bowl cake part for the center of a flower and the cupcakes for the flower petals and leaves. It was super simple (which was all I thought I could handle yesterday) and,as several of you mentioned, children appreciate anything!
At least this little girl looks pleased!
Looks great, Gina! I like the bigger cake for the flower's center... and my kids would be smiling to see gumdrops too! ;-)

I love the cake, it came out great! Your little girl looks extremely happy with it.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful.
That's a very happy face! Even though it takes imagination to figure out what some of my past cakes have been (like the pirates treasure chest, or my attempt at a caterpiller), the kids have always loved them and appreciate the effort. It's so much better than the icky painted cakes that you can buy.
ReplyDeleteWould you look at that expression! :) What a darling little girlie and a lovely cake!
ReplyDeleteGina, that is perfectly sweet! I am bookmarking this to remember when my daughter turns 6.
