HELP!! EMILY-- WE NEED YOU!!!

Rob and I like to watch cake decorating shows. They make these big beautiful cakes and they make it look so easy! Benjamin is turning 1 next week, so we decided that we wanted to make his birthday cake for him. Since, we are experts now from watching so many cake decorating shows, we figured it would be easy. Rob wanted to try his hand at fondant, and I was going to use all those fun tips to make it fancy with frosting. I even bought a cute cake pan with balloons on it. And it was supposed to look like this:



I have no idea what happened! I guess i'm not supposed to cover the balloons with frosting because I couldnt' see anything on the cake once frosting was on it! And then I got out the cute tips...man thats hard! Any... All in all... Emily, we need you! You sure that you don't want to fly out to make us a cake? :)





Here is Rob's attempt at making his own fondant. First it was way to wet and then it cracked. Next time. We buy it already made! I wrote the words on my cake above before he finished his. I love you hun, but I think you might have won the worlds ugliest cake award! P.s. Thats raspberries on top. It even has two great layers of fresh raspberries on the inside. I'm sure its delicious!
