Birthday Baking: Take Two

Crazy busy weekend! Baked like a madwoman on Friday night and finished up on Saturday before the Monkey's birthday party. Final count: two Ben 10 cakes, thirty-six cupcakes, and a partridge in a pear tree. Thank you to Betty Crocker for her excellent Butter Recipe Yellow cake mix which garnered rave reviews and to Kitchenaid for making the awesomest (yes, that's a word) workhorse of a stand mixer evah....... ;)

Bought the "Ben 10 Ultimatrix edible cake image" here.

The luscious innards of the Ben 10 Neapolitan cake: chocolate fudge cake, fresh strawberries in whipped cream filling, and butter yellow cake.

Kinda looks like a giant Oreo, but this is the Omnitrix cake: butter yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling.
