you spend six hours making a beautiful cake for your daughter's birthday and then this happens.
I cried and laughed and then I dropped to my knees and began cleaning up the mess. Leah was mortified when she saw her cake on the floor. Her first reaction was to run to her room screaming and crying while Dillon and I cleaned up the mess but within minutes she on her knees hugging me telling me how sorry she was and how awful she felt for me. I was really proud of her, what maturity that showed for her to recognize my feelings in this situation. She really is growing up to be a great little girl!!!
I spent the following day working on birthday cake version 2.0. I think it turned out better than the first (thank goodness). Now the hope is that it will survive until the day of the party. Only 24 hours left, so far things are looking good. Lets hope they continue!
I would have cried too... but it's good you can laugh about it. I think the second one looks wonderful! Good for you for thinking to take a picture of the first one after it fell. My Mom always says Crisis + Time = Humour. Happy Birthday to Leah in a few days!!! Miss you guys!
