what a fun birthday and perfect gift (that thankfully was found!). I hear you on layer cakes!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, you can't have too many sprinkles. Especially when you are 13.
Thanks! Yes, the camera scare was a bit much!
I love how Chelsea has learned the fine art of sleeping in


The Kokeshi doll is adorable. And I love Connor's Polish chicken. I hope she enjoyed the CBR.
A new camera is a fantastic gift. Did Chelsea take lots of photos at Disney? I hope she was able to get one with Bo.
The cake looks great! I love all of the sprinkles.
Thanks! Chelsea did take a lot of pictures at Disney -- I will be borrowing some of them!
I did! A white chocolate martini is my new favorite drink.
I'd love to go for
MNSSHP, but I we only have one day off in October

My principal agreed to let a few of us go to the NCTE convention in November, so I have a YC weekend to look forward to. But I guess I have to work while I'm there in between rides on Soarin' and TSM.
That's awesome that you will be able to go to Disney for the NCTE convention -- you will have so much fun!
So in other words, you will not be the latest baker to have a show on TLC. I guess we won't be calling you the Charleston Cake Boss. I love the cake - its beautiful and homemade cakes are the best cakes in the world.
Cake Wrecks, maybe, but definitely not Cake Boss. LOL!
What an awesome pre-Disney day Birthday. Chelsea looks like she had a fabulous day. BTW - yummy breakfast. I could eat that right now!
10 stops to Disney world......

....Oh NO!
Chelsea had lots of fun! Yes, Chelsea was counting the stops!
What a fun day for Chelsea! I wish Brooklynn only wanted a round cake with icing and sprinkles! Instead I am making a Toy Story cake that I'm still designing in my head.
Chelsea knows my limitations as a baker.

You always make such fabulous cakes -- the Toy Story one will be very neat, I am sure!
What a great 13th birthday!!!! The cake looks very yummy, Chelsea did a great job of decorating it!!!!
What a great gift, a camera!! WOOT!! I love the red color too!!!!
Awwww...Connor's gift is so cute too!!!!!
Even though I do know how you spent your evening LOL...I can't wait to relive it with you!!!!
Thanks! Chelsea was thrilled to get the camera -- she has been asking for one for awhile.
Sounds like the best birthday ever! Her very own camera....lucky girl....I'm hoping she put it to good use on the trip
I have to agree with Mary Ellen, homemade cakes are best!!!
Chelsea did use the camera quite a bit -- I will be borrowing some of her pictures for the trip report.
The cake was very tasty. Sadly, I had to send leftovers home with family since we were leaving the next day.
AHHHH the days of designing, making, buying, decorating birthday cakes.
My teenagers and their schedules this year caused the unthinkable this year.
NO CAKE

So I got my husband a cake for his April Birthday and told them thier March birthdays were all combined. They were OK with that.
Ah, how sad that your teenagers were too busy for cake.

However, sounds like they were fine with just sharing your husband's. LOL!
I'm here!
Isn't is scary when they are actually teenagers? It's like she had a new license to sleep in!
Welcome! Yes, it is very scary to me!
My children always want me to make a round 2 layer cake. they are a pain!
Looking forward to more......
If I could just figure out an easy way to assemble the two layers, I would be all set.
I'm here!! I'm impressed you already started the report
The birthdasy celebration pictures look great--lots of smiling
So glad you guys had a great trip---looking forward to reading all about it
Hi, Shannon!!! Glad to have you here! I wanted to go ahead and start before I have to go back to work. Plus, I wanted to get the day before and the drive down out of the way so I could get to the fun Disney stuff.
What a fun birthday for Chelsea! Her birthday cake looks so good! Homemade cakes are the best
Chelsea looked so excited to have her very own camera (love the color, by the way)
I love cake! I have no doubt I could eat it every day!
The red is very pretty! I wish mine was that color.
