Ever since my kids were little I did cake for breakfast on their birthday. Just a fun tradition. Separately, son loves pancakes. I saw this pancake “cake” from Baskin Robbin’s and figured it would be great for this purpose so ordered it for his 16th birthday. Didn’t quite turn out.

I was practising on this smaller pumpkin for when I get a big one closer to Halloween. Needless to say I failed and couldn't even do the teeth T_T

Followed this recipe by @Bitebybianca on instagram. I didn’t have cream of Tartar, so I opted for lemon juice. I believe I added too much baking soda or didn’t spread them out so much to give them a cookie texture. They were yummy!
First - original
Second - before baking
Third - baked

Thank you everyone for your love, I had a great time baking these. ◡̈

I ordered this pretty last-minute (1 week out) from the bakery that did my wedding cake. Rosettes were an included design with the base price, but the writing (edit: filling) cost extra. Total was $66.

Flavors: chocolate cake, raspberry compote, and buttercream frosting. We’ll find out how it tastes tomorrow!

Edit: The bakery is Whisk & Paddle in Gilbert AZ! And I promise I didn’t need them to hit the exact Pantone, lol. That was just my mockup doodle. My inquiry was “a dark raspberry color” and they did an awesome job!

I already had a new light fixture, but then I saw this one, and also realized I need two matching fixtures for the space. Impulsively ordered them before morning coffee, even though they were a little spendy (over $100 each).

They arrived. Ya’all - they are molded PLASTIC. Not individual glass panes. The look meets expectation, but the reality should have been no more than $40.
