Cakes

Yesterday I got a brilliant idea to make a pregnant belly cake for my friend's baby shower. So, I went on to amazon.com, bought some cake pans after researching which pans I should buy and then trying to find the best price. I ended up getting the wilton soccer ball pan for the "belly", and the wilton mini cake ball pan for the "boobies".

While they were in route from Arizona, I went to my local Michael's and really wanted to get started on something. I realized the belly cake will only feed about 10-15 people, so I am going to make cupcakes as well. Now, mind you, I haven't told the Grandmother-to-be, and host of the shower that I am doing this, because there always is a chance it won't work out and then I won't be making a cake for the shower.

I hit up our local Shoprite to grab some cake mixes- and yes, I'd like to try to make my own cake from "scratch", but not right now. I am watching what I eat, so I am going to get rid of these cupcakes to whoever will take them. But, I do want to see if I can decorate them well. First things first!

I will post some pictures when I figure out how this works :)
