Baby Shower -- The Cake

Tweet

My middle daughter's sister (half sister), who lives out of town was to make the cake for the shower as her gift. Just a few days before the shower she hit us with the bad news that she had to work and couldn't make it. Of course I freaked out on her saying "OMG! We have no money to buy a cake". She then came up with a friend here in town to make the cake and she paid for it. Let me say that the cake I picked up, and the price Andi paid for it, was nothing like what we were supposed to get. The gal making the cake said that we would need to come up with the Winnie the Pooh toys for the top and sides of the cake. We couldn't find any anywhere except one Winnie at Walmart that was $4.44. Again, my oldest daughter got creative--I wonder where she gets that from? She ended up buying a remnant piece of flannel with Winnie the Pooh characters on it. She cut each of them out and glued them on to clear plastic Christmas bulbs. She then stuffed the bulbs with yellow confetti. They looks pretty good on the cake in place of the toys. Jasmine now has Winnie the Pooh Christmas ornaments, and I used the rest of the flannel printed fabric and made her 3 burp rags with it!
