Easter Weekend Day 1

This weekend we had more events planned than we did in 2008 combined. It was awesome! The fun started on Friday night when I decided to take on an impossible project. We had my family Easter party on Saturday evening and I had the job of bringing dessert. I wanted to make something really fun for the kids so I started looking online for ideas. I found this adorable bunny made from 2- 9 inch round cakes. I'm not a very good cake decorator but decided to try it anyway. Amazingly is wasn't THAT hard. I was very careful to get the cakes out of the pans without destroying them (like on Valentines). I cut the shapes just right and I was shocked. I let them cool for quite a while and made the frosting which turned out to be more than enough so that was good! I had Kevin get me some things from the store to decorate with. He got all the wrong things, but it all worked out anyway. I started frosting at about 8:00 and expected to only finish half the cake that night. By 11:45 I think we were all done. YEAH! It looked silly but I was proud of myself! Kevin was nice enough to pause the Jazz game and sit and be my moral support while I slaved away piping the cake with stars. If I didn't have carpal tunnel before, I do now! I wish I would have done chocolate frosting, I think he would have been cute as a brown bunny. There is always next year! Here is a picture of my masterpiece. You'll see more in Day 2 of our weekend.
