Another Year Older and Wiser Too!

Sam's Mom had a birthday this last week. We had a little family dinner for her at out place. I have always wanted to learn to decorate cakes... I have even bought all the basic supplies... but never been successful. Since I finally had an event to make a cake for, I thought I might try something simple. My idea was butter cream roses... well I couldn't ever get the icing right!!!

After about ten melted roses, I finally made something that resembled a flower... ha ha!

When the whole cake was put together it did not look too bad... for a first attempt.

What really made it all special, was having family together... no matter what the cake looked like!
