Bake a Cake!

In the past, we have always ordered a birthday cake from a bakery.  We've had some good cakes.  I love icing.  I could eat only icing and leave the cake behind!  Eva's birthday was on the 8th and we are having our family party for her tomorrow.  I decided to take the plunge and make a cupcake cake.  Ever heard of those?  You bake cupcakes and then arrange them into a pattern.  I chose a butterfly.  I borrowed decorating tips from a good friend of mine and began to tackle something I've never done.  It was going pretty well actually.  I was enjoying it.  Shortly into my project, Eternity came into the kitchen to ask if she could decorate a cupcake.  I said, 'Sure!'.  I was curious to see how she would like it.  It turns out that she ended up finishing what I started.  Let's just say she took over! ;)  But, it's actually really cool.  Here's something that she has never really done either, and she just took off!  It was actually pretty cool to watch her.  She's an artsy person and it shone through as she created a beautiful design.  She's awesome at it!  We agreed that she's found her calling.  She's at an awkward age.  First year of high school, starting to look for a part time job, after happily giving up her paper route.  She's a tomboy, but also a girly girl.  You know, the type who fiddles with their hair 100 different ways.  So not me.  I would get frustrated with my hair after 10 seconds.  So, it's really cool to watch her work, do her thing and create a beautiful thing.  We had fun.  So our creation will sit in the fridge for less than 24 hours before it finds it's new home, in our bellies.  YUM!
P.S.  Sorry for the sideways picture.  I can't figure out how to fix that!!!
P.P.S. I wasn't able to fix the sideways picture, but I deleted it and added a different picture and it worked.  Yay!!
