Shower

I have had two showers. The first was at work (pictures to come later) and the second was thrown by Wes' mom. I haven't gotten anyone else's pictures for that one yet either but, I figure I can tell you about the cake. I love to make cakes even though I'm really no good at it. So, Wes' mom, Karen came over to the house and we made a great cake together for the shower. It took over 4 hours to get that thing done. I'm talking a lot of work here.

The finished product turned out really nicely... even though it's kind of messy looking.

Karen and I noticed it was leaning a little bit but, we stuck it in the fridge and didn't worry about it. a little bit of a lean wasn't a big deal because it would still taste really good and it was pretty cute. Wes came home and thought it was really adorable. He mentioned the lean but... seriously, it wasn't that bad so it wasn't a big deal. Then... we woke up the next morning to get ready for the shower.

It was no longer a small lean. The green layer had pretty much collapsed and the rest of the cake was in serious danger of falling over. Wes and I tried to do some damage control but the cake was ruined.

Try to imagine with me, if you will... a woman, 8 months pregnant, who spent 4 hours standing over a cake to make it look perfect... and the disappointment she felt (hormones raging) when the cake died. I cried for like an hour. It wasn't pretty. lol

Wes' mom went and bought some cake from Primo's (the professionals) and we ate that. They made me bring the ugly cake anyway so that everyone could see how hard I worked. It was embarassing. lol Here are a few pictures from the shower, more to come when I get them.

Decorations before anyone arrived

These pictures were taken by Wes who was sitting next to me, so that's why I'm not in any of them. It was really a lot of fun. Like I said, I'll include more pictures when I get them.
