Robin's shower went really well. The punch was tasty, the food was yummy, and the cake was pretty decent if I do say so myself. Robin is one of my best friends from high school and college and she is expecting her first baby. A BOY! She was told it was a girl and we sent out shower invitations for a girl. Robin registered for a girl, bought bedding and other items for a girl, and bonded with a baby girl for two months before finding out that she is having a boy. What a shock! She is very happy to have a boy and has adjusted fabulously to the change.
It was great to see Robin's family and friends! Our friend Desiree came down from Oklahoma and it was so fun hanging out with her! It is so hard to make the time to spend time with girlfriends and I really need to do better.
I made the cake for the party. My first stacked cake and what an experience! I learned a very important lesson: NEVER turn your back on your toddler when there is a cake around! I made the mistake of putting the top layer's cake carrier on the coffee table while I put the bottom layer in a box and loaded my car. As I was walking back in I hear a bang and turn the corner find Jackson pushing the cake carrier across the wood floor like he is pushing a truck. The bang was my dearest angel throwing the cake off the coffee table and onto the floor. I couldn't even say anything and promptly started laughing hysterically! All that time and effort and I thought it would be a great idea to put the cake in the hands of Jack- what a dummy! At least it didn't topple over completely so I was able to do some serious cake surgery once I got to Courtney's house and it turned out okay. It was a little slanted and messed up, but only appropriate for Robin to see that her baby boy will soon be a toddler and get into everything like my little one.

Wow! Lots of babies coming soon- and the cakes look great! I might have to take some lessons from you!
The cake looked great, you could not even tell that Jack had used it as a toy. I didn't notice it being slanted at all.
