HOMEMADE BIRTHDAY

Ever since my kids were born, I have been buying a birthday cake at the local bakery. I wanted my kids to have the perfect cake for their birthday and that included having the character/theme of their choice. Well, this year I made a frugal decision to stop over paying for my kids cakes (which we never finish and throw half away) and go homemade.

Today is my daughter's 5th birthday and I was able to make this really cute cake (yes I am bias because I made it) for about $10.00. She is totally in love with it and hasn't said a word to me about a store bought that matches her birthday theme - The Princess and the Frog.
