I've been working on my son's cake today. Angry Birds. But he has a baseball game tomorrow which is his actual birthday so he needs cupcakes for that. On top of those cupcakes I have 48 more cupcakes for an apartment Open House tomorrow. So I'll be up for awhile baking and then decorating all of those<G>.

What is everyone else doing tonight?

I just finished baking a white chocolate mud cake. I am making a rock climbing cake for my husband's birthday on May 1st. I will be working on the fondant rock climbers this weekend.

So are you making a "mountain" for the cake or a climbing wall?

I'm working on a 5 tier for a non-profit daycare center's fundraiser. Complete with RKT cupcake on top. With the leftover batter, I'm making cuppies for my kids' birthday party this weekend.

I'm so glad this is only a hobby. I could NOT do this every night!

I homeschool because I've seen the village and I don't want it raising my children.

Your kid has a birthday this weekend too? My son is 11 tomorrow!

I've been SO busy the past 4 weeks that I'm looking forward to the break I have coming up the weekend after Mother's Day...that's IF I don't take work for that weekend before then. I was supposed to be off last week but then took a grad cake on. Gotta feeling I'm going to get more of those before June is over.

Actually, I have 2 kids with April birthdays, so we're celebrating them with family/friends together as one party because it's out of town. One turns 4 and one turns 2, so at this age, it's more fun to have one big combined birthday! April's been insane, and I'm glad it's almost over!!

eringm- White chocolate mud cake sounds divine! I've got to try that some time!

I was thinking "Mountain" but I have a nephew who climbs indoors so a mountain wouldn't be good for him...this is why I was wondering.

As for me...Except for wrapping and putting a 6inch into the freezer I am totally done! YEA! My list, which was SO long today other than caking is finally done! Whew! I'm looking forward to seeing all of my kids/grandkids tomorrow and just hanging out.

My son has a baseball game tomorrow so we put his party on Sunday at lunchtime. So the cake and favors needed to be done but don't actually have to do the party till Sunday..that means lots of R&R and just being with family tomorrow after delivering the client cupcakes.

The 6 inch is for next week. So I'll just put it into the freezer for working on next Thursday.

Well, I came to this party kind of late - after I finished babysitting my granddaughters so their parents could take in a well-deserved movie. I'm finishing a cake in the shape of a Mexican torta, which is a sandwich made on a special kind of roll called a telera. My son-in-law and I have a running joke: every time I go to Mexico City, he asks me to bring him back a torta, which I never do, because they don't travel. So I'm making him a torta for his birthday cake. I'm also trying to decide on designs for Mother's Day and a friend's birthday. I think the Mother's Day cake (which is for my daughter) is going to be a dummy. For one thing, I have to go out of town several days before Mother's Day and for another, neither one of us are eating sugar these days. But I want her to know how special she is, so I still want to go all out on the design.

Marianna! Tortas look like some GOOD food! Hope you post the photo when you are done! As for the dummy...what a sweet idea! To show how much you love her without giving her sugar that she doesn't want. I, too, am not sure what I'm going to do for M'Day yet...still thinking about it. I'm sure to come up with it on the fly..I usually do<G>

Mornin', Cat! Hope you got some sleep! You're right, there's nothing like a good torta. The thing is, my SIL isn't a fan of sweets, so this is the second time I've made him a cake that looks like one of the foods he IS into (the other time was a grilled T-bone). The thing about the dummy cake for Mother's Day is this: when I want to do something to show somebody I care, for me it has to be cake. Not that I can't give a gift or a bouquet or a nice bottle of wine, as well, but it has to include cake. It may sound corny to say this, but cake is my artistic medium, and it's the best way I have of expressing my feelings sometimes (I used to write poetry, but everybody thanked me for cutting that out!). I think a lot of us that come to CC feel the same way, even if we don't say it a lot.
