Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

In March I had one of the most exciting opportunities of my amateur baking life thus far ....

I was asked by a former co-worker to make her son's 1st Birthday cake.

That is HUGE.

Do you know how huge that is ?

Of course I said yes immediately, then it slowly sunk in that I would be making this cake for complete strangers.

People who are NOT just friends & family being polite......

 

Then I thought, why am I getting so worked up? This IS what I want, what I've worked for.

*Choke*

It all became VERY REAL and I realized I could not back out

 This moment was the first true test of my skill

I was SO "game-on" at that point.

Do I seem dramatic ?

Get used to it.

But truly , I had so many mixed emotions & pure anxiety , but after it was all over, for the first time I really thought--

 " Kristen, you can do this."

I am going to stop myself here and just show you--- here is the final project--

(The water bottle was included in the birthday package.)

Haha. Just kidding.

Clearly I need to invest in an expensive camera and some better photography angles, but you get the point.

Also being my own worst enemy, I was still afraid the cake was not enough , so I made themed cupcakes to go along with it ....

I will stop being ridiculous and just let the world be my judge.

Fin.
