Fiance's birthday is tomorrow! And he's working 5pm-1am tonight, so I thought I'd get his birthday cake made, so it would be waiting for him when he got home! Clyde was a big help. We made a step-by-step:
|
1: Put the cake mix in a bowl and grab a spoon. |
|
2: Add the oil, water, and eggs. (Rinse egg off your fingers, if you're a messy egg-breaker like me.) |
|
3: Mixmixmixmixmix! |
|
4: Remove some of the batter into another bowl. Add food coloring. |
|
5: Mixmixmix! (Not pictured: Repeat with another bowl and another color.) |
|
6: Pour batters in layers into your greased pan. (By the way, you should have greased a pan before now.) |
|
7: Smoosh the layers outward a little (they should, in theory, spread more while they bake... I don't know, I've never done this before). |
|
8: Put the cake in the oven (which, by the way, should have been preheated to 350F before now) and wash the dishes! |
|
9: Put the camera away and forget to bring it out while you pull the cake out, let it cool, and frost it (and add sprinkles!). |
Step 10: Wait for Fiance to come home and enjoy his cake!

Pretty! |
Super cute!! Looks like he was a great help. :) Tomorrow, Anana can come with me to help clean my Mom's house (ooOooh fun!) and eventually I *will* get the Magic Kingdom and Busch Gardens photos edited and posted.
