Mason wanted a Star Wars birthday party and being a professional cake decorator in my younger days, I thought, Why not? How hard can it be? From the looks of R2D2 in the picture, all was coming along beautifully. The next morning, I woke up to a pile of cake on the platter. I'm not going to bore you with the details but the cake fell to pieces. I thought I could pull it apart and put it back together. After more than 3 hours and still no structural stability, I let Mason do it himself. 
Mason used our cookie icings and some Star Wars figures and Viola! The birthday was saved!We are a family of Intentional Winning thinkers, whether it's good communication, bringing a product to market, or birthday cake. We keep looking for the bright side or the lesson and make the best of all situations. In the end, it's a great story and a fun memory!
Now all I have to do is reconcile that he's really six! Where did that time go?

I think I'm hungry lol...Great job Mason!
I'm glad you got a "before" shot of the R2D2. It happens to the best of them. I watched Ace of Cakes last night and thought of you. Great job on the save.
