My baby, my first born is 10! I don't know where the time went and more importantly I don't know at what point in the last year she defected to her father's side.
She is now a Kiss fan. And despite my begging for something more cake-panish and easy for me to do, she had her beautiful little heart set on a Kiss Cake.
And to challenge me even more, she didn't want black frosting. I called in the help of Pinterest, Google, and yes, even my husband.
I made trips to Michaels, Wal-Mart, and JoAnn Fabrics scoping my cake decorating options.
I even checked ebay for anything that might help me out on this one.
I borrowed my sister's sheet cake pan and was just going to cut out the Kiss logo, but then she showed me a cute little 6-inch pan she had. "Stage" instantly popped into my head. I reconsulted my husband, who suggested these cute little Lego-compatible kiss figures.
In the end, I came up with this - all on my own. Free hand (with only a little tracing) and even made flames! I don't think I've ever seen a kid so happy about a cake in my life. Maybe she'll be defecting back to my side now.
