Cake

The First of Many?

Well, let’s see how this goes, eh? I’m planning on using this as a place to document my photographic journey as I learn how to use my new Canon EOS Rebel T3i.

More on me later, but to get us started here are some pictures of a gorgeous cake that my mom made for my nephew’s third birthday. Momma Stalder can correct me as necessary, but this is a chocolate cake. Just a chocolate cake, not her famous bourbon-chocolate which is to die for, because, after all, this is a kid’s cake! Evidently I should’ve known not to ask why she didn’t make the bourbon one. I like bourbon. I’m sure three year olds would too. It’s mostly chocolate – really! Mom – I expect bourbon chocolate cakes for all of my future children’s birthdays. I mean, it’s the Wisconsin way after all. Oh yeah, and along with a deliciously creamy chocolately cakey center, this is covered with fondant, and the whole gall blang thing is edible (I didn’t taste the wheels, but Connor seemed to love them at least!)

Obviously, we can’t forget the birthday boy! He sat next to this cake and stared at it for hours… He loves cake, he loves school buses, it seems that they’re a match made in heaven! I mean, really, I can’t think of another time when I’ve seen him so darned happy. I can imagine a future time however – it’ll be when he gets his ‘digger’ cake that is in the planning stages for a January ‘kids’ birthday party (no bourbon?). I’ll make sure to take pictures so your mouth can water over it after my mom finishes construction.
