Cake, Cake, and well... more Cake!

As if creating a castle cake wasn’t enough, a few days later we were at it again. At school, one of my team members is retiring after 30 years being a instructional aide with Round Rock ISD. I mentioned that I had to order the cake from Sam’s and Trevor said something to the effect of, “Why not let me do it?” I explained how we had to feed 150 people which is way more than he has ever done before. And of course, that is a challenge for my competitive driven husband and we were off!

Sunday was cake baking day! Apparently I was busy washing dishes and cleaning up that I couldn't take pictures.

Monday was cake decorating day!
