birthday cake

Erin's birthday is tomorrow and I decided to make him a birthday cake. I was going to do it tomorrow as a surprise, however he was grumpy today so I made it early. I made it from scratch -- my first cake from scratch EVER! I don't make cakes either....so it was probably my 3rd ever cake too. I think it turned out ok. Erin liked it so that's all that matters. :o)
