After I put all of the ingredients away...I added 3 eggs, water and oil and mixed on medium for 2 minutes. :) twice. as it was a 4 layer cake.
Pictorially skipped steps : cut to level, froze (cakes are MUCH easier and less crumby to work with when they are frozen) iced, spread, spread, spread, spread,
A present was pushed in to the side of the cake and it had to be fixed....so it's not perfect. but it's my first time EVER and I was proud and Sydney was happy :)
While I was frosting it Syd came in from playing out back and said, "WOW mom ! That looks great. Thank you for making my cake mom." SUCH a thoughtful little person.
The end.
Syd looking at her new fairy plant and grow garden she got from her Aunt.
Her brothers ;-) picked out the perfection and operation game.
J and I loved those games when we were little. (what ? they were picked for her not for us. jeeze)
Syd woke up this morning and immediately started playing. Success !

Congrats! It looks beautiful. Love the chocolate frosting detail where the cake meets the plate. Every year for my wife's birthday I recreate our cocunut key lime wedding cake--which is multiple layers. I seek perfection but I admit getting grumpy while getting there. I applaud your composure.
:) lovely cake!
Those games - can't beat those games - so much fun!!
Yeah for your (I mean Syd's) cake!!! Looks like the day was great!!
Happy Birthday, Syd!
Nice looking cake! Did you take a shot of a slice? That must've looked cool!
I also loved those games, but Perfection would give me a near anxiety attack!
Hey you did it!! It wasn't that bad was it!! Good job!
Happy Birthday beautiful Syd! I hope all your fairytale dreams(and real life ones to for that matter)come true.
Nice cake! I make 2-layer cakes pretty often and I NEVER thought to freeze before frosting. I'm so excited to try it out!
Happy Birthday Syd!
What a great looking cake! I've always wanted a slice of those Pollyanna cakes too. :)
Happy Birthday beautiful girl! (mommy I think your ticker tape at the right is wrong it says she will turn 6 in 11 months shouldn't it say 7?) just wondering......
Happy Birthday Syd! Nice job on the cake, mom!
There's a tradition in my family... when we were kids my grandma always made a layered german chocolate cake. When she was able to, she made them for our kids. Now I make it in honor of her.
Looks YUMmmmmmmmYYY!
