Happy Birthday

In my endless quest to make strangers into best friends I made a cake for the assistant softball coach on her birthday. I actually tried this technique for tie dye cake which is all the rage on the crafting web-sites that I now spend most of my time looking at.
The plan for the evening was quiet simple, Torri, Erika, the birthday girl Kayla, and myself were going to have dinner around 8 and I would be texted earlier in the evening with more details.

I spent the whole afternoon mixing batter, baking and decorating this cake:

The first hiccup in the cake delivery happened when I first began making the cake. I got an e-mail saying plans had changed and what was meant to be a dinner in the apartment turned into a dinner at a restaurant. I was not overly excited about bringing my cake to a public place but I accepted that it was a fairly common practice and forged on with my cake making.

I wont go into great detail about the next hiccup, but basically things were running a little late, I assumed the worse, I was hating on people for not getting back to me, bitch, bitch, moan, moan, yaddie yaddie ya... people turned out to have been at church, aren't I an atheist dick...

So finally we head to the restaurant; cake in tow. We settle into our booth and I put the cake on the window sill so it is off the table and we go about normal restauarant buisness. We talk, we eat, the table gets cleared off and it's cake time; I'm excited, not going to lie. I might have talked up the cake a little bit, it being a tie dye cake and all. And alas, the big reveal..... covered in ants. Little, tiny, get stuck in the frosting ants. Got to love my life.
