P's Birthday Cake, Part 1

This... was supposed to be P's birthday cake back in November 2008. Oh I was prepared this time. Made sure there was enough icings, created the royal icing daisies and the colorflow butterflies (P likes butterflies) days in advance, and made sure I was in no rush for the D-day. Nothing can go wrong. Or so I thought.


Well first, let me show you the sides of the cake. See the work I put into this cake? :S....

So. I was about to transport the cake. *I didn't bake it at home... it was supposed to be a surprise*. Placed it carefully on the box and walked outside to the car. It rained just hours ago (see where I'm going). And the road was slippery.

Well guess what? I slipped. :'( I FELL!

The cake box went flying out of my hands, and right to the ground - 3/4 the cake spilling outside. Smushed.

And I was kneeling on the ground. Speechless. I think I stayed on the ground for a minute or so... :P

Well... luckily I also baked these mini cupcakes *again as a favor / to pass around*

A close up....

So this ended up as her birthday cake T_T.....

You can imagine how upset I am the whole night.... :(

PS: Was so glad I took pictures of the cake already - another thing I learned: Take picture of the cake IMMEDIATELY :).

Oh and the funny thing is *now*, hours before the cake incident, my mom was like "Careful bringing the cake!" (Gee....-_-'....)
