Gavin's 2nd birthday and Betty Crocker giveaway!
Through My Blog Spark and Betty Crocker I was able to give Gavin a fantastic birthday party. They gave me a flip video camera, 100 visa gift card, and VIP coupons for the cake and frosting.
They wanted me to record a video of Gavin before the party asking him some questions...but he is 2, and I didn't get a single response out of him, so that video is REALLY boring.
On Betty Crocker's website they have instructional videos on how to make their cakes and tell you all the things you need to buy to make it. I decided to make the Old McDonald birthday cake. This is how it is supposed to look:
and this is how mine looked:
Not too shabby I think!
Here are all the decorations I was able to get:
Here is a video of the party before everything got taken over by the children:
And the Birthday Boy!
And I had to put this one of Paul saying Skittles, he's so cute! (You only need to watch the 1st 25 seconds).
Now on the the GIVEAWAY!...
To enter: Visit Betty Crocker and tell me which cake you would try to make if you won. (1 entry per person.)Giveaway ends Friday March 19th 11:59 pm Arizona time.

I think the Zoo-Rific party cake looks fabulous
I think Olivia would flip to see the "Pink Castle Cake" at her Bday!
I've already made the snowman and train cake, there's so many awesome ones to choose from! And your barn cake came out AWESOME!
Ok, since we don't have a birthday coming up anytime soon, I think the bunny cake on their homepage would be adorable to make!
Looks like Gavin had a fun birthday party!
that treasure chest cake looks so fun!!!!! your barn cake is pretty cool....
They all really look creative and fun, but for Cbaby i would do the train cake for Bbaby I would probably do the butterfly
I think your barn and animal cake turned out way good!! Almost better than what it was supposed to look like! I would want to make the pink castle cake! Miranda's 1st birthday is coming up the end of May and that would be perfect!! =)
that really was the cutest cake!! on a different note, boy do i feel like a complete nerd. i didn't mean to jump into your video! i don't even think i knew you were filming. :)
Your barnyard cake came out so cute! We were totally inspired by the Building Blocks cake for Josh's birthday and the Poppin' Up Happy Birthday cake for Riley's a month later. They are both so excited for their birthdays now and are already planning away! Thanks for sharing the link -- I'm always eager to find cute ideas!
Since Easter is coming up I would do that. But I REALLY want to make the Treasure Chest Cake. That looks like soo much fun. Your cake turned out really well. Check out my blog to see the cake's I made for lily's party
I know 2 little girls that would love the rockstar cake!
The zoo-rrific cupcakes are cute too!
Am I dumb? I can't find the cakes on the website. So I guess I'd try the barn one! It looks awesome, good job! :)
