Noooo!

What a disastrous morning.

Last night I worked on the fondant pieces for Dayna's boat baby shower cake, and baked the cakes so this morning I would only have to put it together. It went smoothly, and things turned out really nice.

I got up this morning and put the cake together and it turned out really cute. As I was walking from the counter to put the cake on the table, I tripped over the little bin that I keep my cake decorating supplies in, and I dropped the cake.

I could see it in slow motion sailing through the air and landing in a pile... it was awful. Like something you'd see in a movie. I sat there for a second looking at it and I'm sure my mouth was hanging open, then I stooped down, grabbed a chunk, and ate it. It was delicious, of course.

After my slow-motion stupor ended, I screamed for mom and then we began a frenzy of running to the store to pick up some emergency cupcakes while I cleaned up the mess and tried to salvage some pieces. I was able to save the little fondant baby Stephen on a life preserver, and the life preserver that was stuck to the side of the boat. Thankfully, Sam's came to the rescue and whipped up some cupcakes really fast. I put the fondant life preservers on the cupcakes, but that's all I could do.

I can't believe I dropped that cake. I didn't even get a picture of it. I know Dayna understands, but I really wanted her to have a nice baby shower cake. And thank GOD we were able to get some cupcakes at the last minute. Maybe I can make up for it on his 1st birthday. ;o)

The shower was fun, but we had to leave kinda early because my mom wasn't feeling well. It was just a really strange morning/ afternoon.
