Irritation and SpongeBob

For Jackson’s birthday, I made him a SpongeBob cake. It didn’t go so well. Not being prepared probably had something to do with it. If I had only known that Jackson was going to have a birthday soon I would have made sure to get everything that I needed for his cake. But, no. I waited until the last minute.

Cuz that’s how I roll.

I made the cake the night before. No pictures were taken because I forgot. It was just a yellow cake mix prepared as a pound cake. I didn’t have any vanilla pudding mix, so I used butterscotch instead. It actually wasn’t that bad!

As you can see, I forgot to cut off the crumbs around the edges before I started working on the cake.

Here’s the assorted parts used on the cake. Fortunately, I only needed one or two of each item which meant that I was able to gorge on the rest of them while I worked on the cake. I did accidentally eat the part of the red Airhead that was supposed to be a sock stripe. I just rolled up a fruit rollup, slapped it on and no one was the wiser. I did a lot of haphazard slapping when it came to putting this cake together.

Don’t judge me-it would have turned out looking the same if I had been really careful instead.

Let’s just say that I was never one of your typical homeschoolers.

I dressed like one (read: denim jumper), acted like one, got pretty good grades like one, but when it came to creative and artistic genius; I was left in the dust.

I measured and marked wedges on two of the corners and then cut them off with a Tupperware knife. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Tupperware? Well, I do. We got the knife set from my mom’s sisters for our wedding and I don’t think I would be a complete person without them!
