Jackson's first birthday is February 2. He'll be one WHOLE year old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I fully intend on waking up any day now and witness him walk out the door and off to college. (Hopefully a cheap college.)
I had a friend make the cutest invitations for me, last minute. I ordered a special birthday t-shirt for him and a special diaper for him to wear (we use cloth diapers). Everything has a Groundhogs theme. Get it? Because he was born on Groundhogs Day?? I know, I'm clever.
Well it turns out that you can't get a custom Groundhog cake at Target. I thought they had everything! And Duff from Ace of Cakes charges just a tad too much AND they don't deliver. When I say a tad too much, I mean the starting price is $500.
So, guess what? I'm making Jackson's birthday cake. A Groundhog cake, actually. Have I ever made a cake? Never. Am I excited? Hell yea.
I'm gonna need all the well wishes and positive thoughts you can muster for this endeavor. I'm so gonna need it.

Duff delivers and it's so worth it!
$500? That is more than a WEDDING CAKE. And I bet it doesn't need to serve nearly as many people. JEEZ.
Good luck making your own! And make sure to take photos so we can see!
That is so awesome! Is it going to be a red velvet cake like the armadillo groom's cake in Steel Magnolias? :)
Good luck, girly!
A groundhog cake is terribly cool. I do hope you plan to post pictures. (Also: KUDOS. I consider myself Making An Effort if I throw a box cake on the table.)
haha...you don't think $500 is a normal price for the first birthday cake??!! ;)
