We're leaving on Tuesday and today I was trying to get all the last minute stuff done. Finishing the house so it would be clean when we came home (and for Erin who's staying here to cover Cliff's absence at work), picking up the last minute items, baking Alex's birthday cake-which was a bust.
He asked me for a nintendo DS cake or a lasagna cake, and he wanted it to be carrot cake. I could of done a boring DS (I'm not artistic enough to draw a game being played so it would of been a DS turned off) and the lasagna just wasn't going to work with carrot cake.
In my searches however I came across a Fondant wrapped Garfield cake that I knew I could make look nice and Cliff had the idea to make a kitty litter cake so I was going to put Garfield in the kitty litter.
Well, last night Isaac kicked our sprinkler pipe and burst the line so we had no water while Cliff had to get the parts to fix it and then wait for it to dry. All this, plus 10,000 other things I was doing, really left me little time to do the Garfield (fondant doesn't sit well in the fridge and carrot cake is a nightmare to shape) so after showing Alex the litter cake he got really excited and we chose to just do that. With the poop of course.
Today, Erin arrived, I got all my errands completed *mostly*, and I made the cake. It looks like poo. Perfect.
