As I previously mentioned, I am taking a cake decorating class with some of my friends. This clown cake is cake #2. I tried to talk Madeline into using it for her birthday cake, but she was horrified. She thought the clowns made the cake look like it was made for a "baby." So, I decided to put Sophie's name on it since she is the closest thing I have to a baby (she is no longer in her crib or using her binky, but I'll make a separate post about that later, *sigh, sigh, sigh*). And besides, Sophie has been feeling a little left out with all this birthday talk for Maddie lately.
In addition to making cakes, I have really wanted to work on some cooking skills. I have been telling myself for awhile now that I am going to start actually cooking for my family, not just warming chicken nuggets and making Kraft mac and cheese. So, last week I made this rigatoni and vegetable casserole; my friend Jenny made one for a party last year, and it was awesome. I found a similar recipe on-line and made a few of my own changes like using less pasta and more veggies. It had spinach, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, and tofu in it, and My Kids Ate It! I think when this cake class is over, I might just take a cooking class.
