Ok, so I must explain Maren's cake. First of all, its a tradition in my family that the first birthday cake be a head of a boy or a girl. I had the same cake on my first birthday and so did my siblings and my other children. Second, the back of the cake was not finished. Let me tell you why. It didn't come out of the bowl very well and the top part sort of ripped off and I was about the throw it all out and not have a cake for Maren. I calmed down and put the pieces back and and frosted what I could to keep it together but didn't have enough frosting to do the back. Maren won't care! So thats why you see the torn up back of the cake in the pictures and video. Maren didn't notice and it still tasted great. Go me......
