Happy 4th Birthday Mason!

We celebrated Mason's 4th Birthday today. The heat and humidity was horrible and wreaked havoc on the cake I made him.
It all started on Friday when I tried to make the icing. After carving the truck, I made the icing, but noticed right away that it wasn't smooth and fluffy. I ended up making another batch which was better, but still not good. The longer I worked on the cake the worse the icing got. I decided to go online and find a high humidity icing recipe. I used it on the top of the tank, but will never make it again. It was like paste and I literally pressed and molded it on. I wanted to add more details to the truck, but was having so much trouble, I finally surrendered and called it quits. The cake itself tasted really good, but let's just say it wasn't my best. Thank goodness Mason is only 4 because he was impressed and loved it. The smile on his face...priceless!
