The cake

I decided to make Sophie's birthday Cake this year...

I baked the cakes a few days before and put them in the deep freeze until the day before I was ready to frost. Here's the pictures of the progress...
I love the colors

Note... the cake was a little tippy... ala leaning tower
If I do this again I'm going to make the bottom few layers more substantial than the ones that are placed on top of them... maybe we wouldn't have had an issue if I would have thought of this earlier... hmmmm

We ran out of frosting at about this point...
which didn't help the leaning any.
oh well.

Frosting is pretty forgiving... you just add more to make it look level.
PS... use dowels to stabilize just in case.
.
I know the S looks like a 5 but whattaya gonna do.
It's my first try. ahha

Birthday Prep 101

SEWWWWW...
Saturday I gathered up all my energy
and made 6 cakes
ya I know it takes alot of
Chutzpah
To think that i can pull this cake idea off... but then again...
I am Ashlee

here's one so you don't have to turn your head

I thought I did pretty good at the color scheme...
ps I hate red... so it's not in this rainbow
according to me
plus red isn't going to match Sophie's outfit when she smashes this bad boy up
so ... it's all about matching.

I was sooooo impressed with my discipline...
I didn't lick the bowls...
of course I did have to spray the bowls with water to stay on track...
but I did it!

So Pretty
And here they are cooling.
yes that's jakes hand ...
he thought they were tasty!
I cut off the tops so that the layers would be somewhat even

and what we had left was a yummy tower of color

Yea... i think this is going to work .

Heads up... just found this and thought...

hmmm...

11/11/11 (a.k.a. 11-11-11); Friday, November 11, 2011: Mathematics

The number eleven is the fifth prime number (contrary to popular belief, the number one ( 1 ) is not a prime number).

The base numeric number system lends itself to some interesting peculiarities as relates to the number eleven.

Base 10 for example:

(2 digits) 11 x 11 = 121

(6 digits) 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321

(9 digits) 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Base 16 (hexadecimal) for example:

(2 digits) 11 x 11 = 121

(6 digits) 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321

(9 digits) 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

cool.
