Our daughter’s 2nd birthday party was farm themed and I knew I wanted to make some type of barnyard animal cake to top off the day. I considered making a cow and a horse but my bright husband suggested a pig because you only need one color frosting for piping. Done!
We had to switch the party from Sunday to Saturday so I had one less day of prep. I have learned over time that keeping things simple is the smart way to go. See instructions below for how to create an easy pig birthday cake (or pig cake for any farm-themed occassion).
Any time I’m feeling down or just need a little something to brighten my day I turn to one of two things, ice cream or dog-shaming (maybe both).
I think I find dog-shaming so funny because I can actually visualize the dog in the act. Plus by just looking at a dog’s face you know if the dog realizes he/she did something naughty. Other animals (especially stupid cats) just don’t have those shameful faces. Here are just a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
There are a few things I just can’t seem to remember. I learn these life lessons over and over but they just don’t stick.
Do NOT try out new recipes on guests.
Why I decide to make something new each time I have people over for a meal is beyond me. The recipe always ends up taking longer than it should. Often, the result isn’t what I wanted. When I make a recipe the first time I almost always have changes that I would make to it the next time, that is if I don’t decide to nix it completely. As a former Home Ec teacher, it is quite embarrassing when I am a disaster in the kitchen. Why don’t I just stick to recipes I love and I know I make great when I am trying to make a good impression?
