Today’s fact: About 1 in every 691 babies born in the US has Down syndrome.
You know me and my cakes. I’m headed to a “Ghoul’s Night Out” this evening (isn’t that cute?) so I thought I’d make an appropriately ghoulish cake.
Ta da! It’s Frankenstein’s monster!
Chocolate cake with raspberry filling, frosted with buttercream (the green) and chocolate buttercream (the hair.) I know you want some. I’ll think of you while I’m eating my slice.
SO CUTE! Have fun tonight!
I am drooling!! That cake sounds delicious π have fun tonight π
Wow, that is a great cake!
That is amazing. I wouldn’t even know where to start to make something like that.
I took some cake decorating classes a couple years ago, so now I like to think I have more decorating skills than I actually have.
Wow, that is an amazing cake. I’m so jealous. You and your cake should come visit. Have a great time!
Maybe you should just come visit me and my cake here!
Three comments:
1) How are the odds for having a baby with Down Syndrome so much lower when that many are being born?
2) How do you have time to take care of a baby, a toddler and a kid AND make fancy cakes?
3) I forgot to mention that my mom said you’re welcome to stay at their place when you visit Denver in December as long as you make a fancy cake. Also she wants you to send one to me now.
1) You have to factor in the higher odds for older women. At age 30 the odds are 1 in 1000, but at age 35 it’s 1 in 400 and it goes up from there. Also, some places I’ve read that the birth rate is 1 in 800 or even 1 in 1000, so even that is not a set in stone number.
2) It takes me two days. And help from Brian.
3) I’m not sure a cake would mail very well.
3) You should at least try. π
Great. Now I want cake.
Omg that is the dang cutest thing I’ve ever seen!! Great job!
Can we live closer together so I can have some of that cake? Look at you bake-y lady. Adorable!
I can’t believe that cake is THAT cute AND there’s chocolate and raspberry in there.
Oh believe it. My only regret is that I was feeling lazy, so there were only 2 layers of raspberry filling instead of 4.
