Don't leave an 18 month old near a cooling cake!! - Page 2

I had done a baseball cake for my niece...she's all tom-boy...and the next morning I am getting for church, and my son (3 at the time) comes in and says, "um...yummy icing Mommy". Took me a minute to realize what he meant, and then I took off running! Sure enough, he had raked his little finger all the way through the baseball! I was able to salvage, but he had to apologize to his little cousin for the mess! Same time...so hard to be upset at them...they can't resist! I've learned to keep them up higher now! Nice salvage...I bet too she wasn't hungry for dinner that night...the dog shouldn't have been either!

How sweet.
You manage to make the guitar very nice.
You may have to make a cake just for your girls.
My boys ask the very same every time I make a cake for someone. And they are now 9 and 11.

my fiancee....what to do with him>?i made a cake for a couples 50th ann. What did he do? As the cake was just cooling he decided he wanted a piece. He cuts a big hunk out of the MIDDLE not the SIDE.. he likes the middle of cakes. Then spreads my icing all over it. Unfortunately i was all out of powdered sugar. And i only had 20 mins to get this cake done and into the car. I yelled at him so bad,, now he doesn't come into the kitchen when im cooking or i yell at him... im mean i know it lol....

If my husband ever did something like that, I would be chasing him around the house with my kitchen knife...ok J/K, but yeah I think you were justified in yelling at your fiance like that. Too bad he had to learn his lesson the hard way

he then bought me flowerd to justify what he did.. But when you only have a few hours flowers do not help! It definately doesn't buy any time!! HE definately learned his lesson... now he asks if i will make him a cake or really anything... its kinda funny though!! lol

I am laughing over the cat because my cats would do that, so I will be keeping an eye out now, and the fiance because it sounds like something my sister would do. Family members, if we didn't have them, life would be so much less exciting!!!!!

i guess we wouldn't laugh as much if we didn't have those little stories to share about accidents.. im making my first wedding cake for a lady and im scared to death that im gonna mess it up or that im gonna drop it lol... but everyone here has given me so much confidence

I have enjoyed all our little stories on this thread and wanted to share mine...

my dear friend who also does cakes had baked a half sheet for a bday cake and her 2 yo son was settled in watching tv so she took a quick potty break. When she came out of the bathroom, she noticed a big hole in the middle of her cake! Zach had gotten a big serving spoon from the crock on her counter and a big TW bowl from the cupboard--the only things he could reach/get into--and scooped a big spoonful of cake into his bowl and was enjoying a snack w/ his tv show! She said it was so funny, she couldn't help but laugh, and be thankful he used a spoon and bowl and actually didn't make a mess! Thankfully she had extra cake to patch it!

Now my DH, was fiance at the time (and I still married him!), knew I was having a heck of a time one weekend with too many cakes and too little time. I was doing my last cake, it was a half sheet for a 1st bday and I had a little 3" round for the smash cake. I went into the other room to get some supplies from my cupboard and when I came back I noticed my smash cake was gone...ugh! I said, what did you do with my cake, this is not funny, I have no extra cake, where'd you hide it...thinking he was just messing with me. Well, I couldn't understand his reply b/c his mouth was full of my smash cake! I could have killed him! I really had no extra cake from all I had done that weekend, not even anything in the freezer, so I made him mix up another cake and redo my smash cake and he made the rest into cupcakes for himself while I iced the big cake! I was so mad, because just the week before I had a 6" leftover and he said he would eat it, it sat there until it molded b/c he didn't eat it! GRRRR!
