As some may know, the finale of the HBO show True Blood aired yesterday evening. On Friday, I started the grueling process of making a cake to take to our True Blood "party". (The process is still grueling to me since I'm a beginner, and I simultaneously take care of twin boys).
On Friday I got most of my steps out of the way. I baked my cakes, made fondant, colored that fondant, and made my decorations for the top of the cake. Logan was keeping me company in the kitchen while I worked with the fondant to make the letters spelling True Blood. Since Logan is 2, his favorite phrase in the kitchen is "I want a bite". So, as I made my letters I was feeding Logan the scraps of fondant. (for some reason he loves it, me, not a fan). Bedtime approaches and I finish up my letters. All Done! I'm so excited cuz tomorrow I can make my filling, put my cake together, and cover it with fondant.
Saturday comes, I finish my cake. I was so excited to get it done because I made "blood" our of pureed cherry pie filling and red food coloring. (by the way, not only did my blood look awesome, it was delicious!)
Here is the finished result:
I was done with my cake and happy with the results! That afternoon I went to a movie with my friends leaving Logan, Aiden, and Dad home. The movie was great and I came home a few hours later in a good mood. This is what I found.....
Apparently feeding Logan fondant scraps was a big mistake. The 3 of them took a nap and the boys woke up before Jeff. So, they pulled their timeout chair up to the counter and went to town. They picked every letter off and ate it! After wanting to cry for about 20 minutes I did come to realize how lucky I was that they so skillfully JUST picked off the letters and left the rest of the cake intact....
So basically the lesson to be learned in my house is:
Don't leave ANYTHING within reach or even "assisted reach" of the boys. At least not if you cherish it!
