Rainbows after a storm? – Birthday must go on (Picture heavy)
You’ve seen lots of birthday cakes and party pictures here before. They’re a big deal for us!
For as long as I can remember, my mom would spend the whole morning working on the birthday cake, usually hidden away in the kitchen by sheets tacked up across doorways so no one could peek. Birthday person’s eyes are even shielded up until the very moment that everyone is gathered around the table with the cake right in front of their spot.
Sometimes, that doesn’t go quite as planned, though. My sister’s birthday 3 years ago was all sorts of crazy.
A large craft/art fair that’s held near us and we go to every year just happened to fall on the same day that year. We got up early, rushed off to the event, spent a few hours crafting to our little heart’s content and browsing as many of the vendors as possible (and getting face paint!), before scooting back off home for the rest of the day’s plans.
Only….did I mention that my mom had been sick? And that by the time we left, she was ready to crash already? And guess who still had a cake to prepare and party to throw? Yep!
This year’s cake? Kit Kat mountain with a 3D rainbow.
Which is exactly what my mom made, but not exactly what my sister got.
Instead, this happened not long before the party was set to start:
That lovely crack right down the middle meant there would be no more standing it back up either.
But the show must go on, right? So icing was scraped away as much as possible, the rainbow laid flat instead of upright, and the remaining icing was smoothed across with a butter knife.
Add some white linings and last minute snow on the mountain, and we were good to go, wee! Can you see the remaining cake still stuck to the mountain where it fell? Oops!
Ultimately, it ended up looking pretty cool still and now comes with quite the story, too, huh? Hehe.
And I’m pretty sure, judging by these reaction pictures, birthday girl wasn’t too disappointed by it either.
And as if this post didn’t already have a ton of pictures, here’s a few more…
From the bottom of that picture to the top, that’s a cooked frozen pizza, a mess of cake and icing gone crazy, the heart pan she cut the rainbow out of, and another few pizzas back there.
Yes, there’s a reason she got a watermelon for her birthday. No, I’m not telling you what it is. :P
That’s a glob of icing. Really, not a good day for icing going where it was supposed to go. 
Every kid should have a good pet rock or two…
Okay, that’s it for now. As I continue going through old CDs of pictures, I’m sure I’ll have more picture-heavy posts like this for ya, so be prepared.
What’s cooler than a zombie cake? – One baked in a convenience store, duh
Meet Zin.
Zin is stranger than I am. In case you don’t believe me, take another look at that picture and notice is head gear. :P
And then keep reading. Because this is Zin’s cake, made on a whim, and no, not in his own kitchen.
Awesome zombie cake, no? When I asked what the teeth were made out of because I couldn’t quite tell, I got more pure awesome details about how the cake came to be.
Take a look for yourself:
Not censoring his name because every time I ask if I can do something, he tells me to go for it. We’ll treat his name the same way.
Zincathion: Teeth and brains are Good & Plenty, teeth are just cut in half, the eyes are marshmellows sliced up, with a dark recees pieces glued on with frosting.
Then my attempt at hair was screwed up badly by the lack of twizzlers pull & peels, so I used basic Twizzlers
I was slightly saddened by that, but considering two hours ago I didn’t even know I was going to bake a cake tonight, I think it’s pretty good.
Jessi: You had those things on hand already? Or just the store didn’t have the pull and peels when you went to find them?
Zincathion: Store didn’t have any.
Jessi: boo
Zincathion: I actually baked it in a convinyence store…
Jessi: you did?
Zincathion: Yep. I can give you pics of that if you want to.
Jessi: how did you manage that? and if you have them, sure!
Zincathion: With my awesomeness.
Jessi: haha
Zincathion: I am really really good friends with everyone that works here.
Jessi: they have an….oven? at the store? or like one of those toaster oven/microwave things that gas stations tend to have?
Zincathion: It’s actually a old
Restaurant Namebread oven.Jessi: nice
Zincathion: Old
Restaurant Namewhere equipment just sits. Under the NH stickers is aRestaurant Namelogo. Had to just hide it to use it.(After some more picture exchange….)
Jessi: ok, that last picture is just epic
^ Yeah, I’m still giddy that he shared the pictures with me. And that he actually baked and decorated the cake in a convenience store, because really, can you get any quirkier than that?
