Doug's birthday cake

This is the superman cake that I made for Doug. It is a superman cake because he is my "superman". What would I do with out him, or what would it do if he wasn't such a hard worker and provider for our family. I am so thankful for him, that he is willing to do so much to take care of our needs. It has definitely been a hard road for him and I want him to know that I am here to support him and love him.

I made fondant for this cake. I got a great receipe for it from my friend Amy in our ward. It is basically made with marshmellows, and powdered sugar. I attempted to roll it all out and design it after we finished fixing up the garage. I really should have done it all on friday but I just didn't prepare well enough. I was really rushed and felt stressed out by this time and the kids got the brunt of it. Sorry kids. I had to roll out the blue fondant like 5 times because I didn't put enough cresco down in order to lift up the fondant after rolling it out. Once i got that part done the rest took another hour probably but I was happy with the out come. It is not perfect but how cares. It was my first attempt with fondant and it care out alright. I will have to try it again some time.

I had the cake laying out on the table when Doug got home and he liked it. All he really does is smile and say that you but thats ok. Since Doug got home late we didn't have a whole lot of time for dinner. We had to rush to get out of there so we weren't able to share the cake with the kids on Saturday night. We went to Smokey Mountain Pizza and Pasta for dinner and our friends joined us. It was a great night.
We sung Happy birthday to Doug at Grandma H's house and ate the cake there. Cameron was really excited to eat the cake and it did taste alright. I only put three candles in trying not to destroy the look until we were ready to eat it. Miah enjoyed the cake too.
