Husband M celebrated his birthday this past Canada Day. We all went to visit his mom that day, he thought she might enjoy the visit. Daughter L's boyfriend also came along. She didn't feel up to going out to a nice dinner, her arthritis was acting up,so we went out to dinner and came back to cut the cake with her. I might add that I woke up that morning and realized we didn't have a birthday cake to cut. So I baked a cake mix and made my own icing. I don't think I've made icing before but it turned out ok. It was a simple buttercream icing. I got a lot of good-natured teasing from some of my sisters when I sent them a photo of my efforts. I am definitely not a perfectionist, especially when it comes to frosting a cake, lol. Daughter L didn't have time to help that day.

Sounds like a good day - and the cake looks delicious!
The cake looks wonderful, glad you all had a great day, that's the main thing! Valerie
I'll bet it tasted great and it was a very loving thing to do. The candles really make it festive!
Well, A for effort. I think as long as you lovingly baked it, that's enough. :)
I can't bake so, what you did was big for me.
To my eyes your cake looks wonderful,
I can't bake at all :))
Have a beautiful day!

Tinna you are so sweet!
Looks pretty good to me! And happy (belated) birthday to your husband. I wish him many more!
home made with the added love is always best!! I hope your husband has a wondeful year! Happy Birthday to him!
I always judge a cake by how it tastes, not how it looks :-)
Buttercream is the best! ! My cake icing turns out like that so I can't see anything wrong with it ☺
Happy Birthday to your husband.
Aloha from Hawaii.
Your cake is really such a delicious perspective :)
happy birthday to him
I always wonder how much skill it requires to make a cake look wonderful. Every grocery store has someone who can make it look picture perfect. But even my mom can't make cake that doesn't look homemade.
I'm glad you had a nice celebration. The cake looks delicious!
Love the cake Christine:))
Look really good!
good to know this Adam!
You're so funny! Kinda like Dave's Turkey, I was supposed to buy it?! Happy birthday to your hubby!
I love the frosting job. Thanks for sharing.
