Feeling Blue

I'm sure you all know Amanda over at I am mommy

and if you know Amanda, you know about her beautiful rainbow cake!

Well I fell in love with her rainbow cake the moment I saw it.

I knew that some day I would just have to give it a try.

So as Haakon's birthday was rolling around the corner I thought that might be a good time,

BUT,

Haakon isn't really a 'rainbow' kind of a boy,

he's a boy's boy....all blue.

So I decided to do a bunch of layers of different shades of blue.

Oh it looked SO cool in my head!

Then I started working on it.

I chickened out.

Lots of layers is hard!

I ended up with three layers of blue,

and while it wasn't quite what I had in mind,

I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.

To top it all off, I didn't have feel bad about feeding my kids gallons of food coloring,

because only an irresponsible mom would feed their kids THAT much food coloring :)
