Happy Birthday, Matthew!

You can't tell from the picture but it was pretty big- 30-35 serving cake. This cake started out easy and then turned into a nightmare! The end result was great, but parts of the process made me want to cry. The entire tractor was made of cake and the wheels are rice crispy treats. On the way to Matthew's party the top fell off. Sammi & I were so stunned we didn't know what we were going to do with it. I couldn't just bring half a cake! We turned around and eventually just made a box for the top half. That's why the top (white) part looks a little funny. We made it to the party with 5 minutes to spare :) Later one of the kids wanted to "play" with it. Before dad could stop him, he tried making the tractor roll. When Dad got there, the kid was holding the wheels that he popped off and had a stunned look on his face. Oh, the joys of childhood. But Matthew loved his cake and his 3rd Birthday Party was perfect for him.
