Thanks, Wikipedia. We don't know any French in the Salmon house, but that is apparently the French phrase "Let them eat cake." Which is what we did. At Maggie's party. Lots and lots of cake. Homemade.
About a month ago, mom got a wild idea that it would be a tremendously fun project to make Maggie's birthday cake. Knowing we were having a "Princess Party," the orignial plan was to bake a fun, princess "gown" cake (you know- the one's with the dismembered Barbie torsos stuck in the top....) Anyway, as planning got underway, we decided we could do better! Mom gave Ant Jood a call- she was in charge of baking many a birthday cake while we were growing up- and enlisted her expertise!
A dozen eggs, 16 cups of powdered sugar, one power drill, and about 8 1/2 hours later- check out our finished product! The most important part? Maggie L-O-V-E-D it. She was super-duper proud, and that's all that really matters.
Mom starts her "official" Wilton cake decorating class next Wednesday! Can't wait! We're already brainstorming ideas for Lucy's birthday party in June!

Ant Jood- hard at work. Look close. There's the drill in the background!
Mom- a little giggly from all the frosting
Maggie- the official "taste-tester!"
Quality control
Ant Jood and Maggie with the (almost!) finished product. THANKS ANT JOOD!Drumroll please...........
Watch carefully- Yes, Maggie is adorable in this video talking about her cake. But we think the best part is Lucy (who you totally cannot see) pushing her highchair around the kitchen in the background. It looks like our house is haunted! :)
