Today is Steven’s birthday! Happy birthday, Steven!

I attempted to make him a cake from a(n accidentally) vegan box mix. I subbed out vegan eggs for the egg whites.

It turned out great!

If you don’t look at the back.

Buah ha ha ha. My snis just had a construction themed birthday party for William and she suggested I put a toy digger back there and make it in to a themed cake. Ha!

I was 50% sure this would happen. This particular egg replacer makes the cake too fluffy and it doesn’t hold together. So half of the cake stayed in the pan when I was done baking.

I was all “I will use frosting as glue!” And I did! As much as I could. But the back of the cake was too far gone.

At least the front looks okay, right? And it tastes good.


Ugh, speaking of the stove, the kittens will NOT stay off it. We lock the control panel, but can hear it beeping when they jump up there and step on it.

Last night, we were in lying in bed and heard the oven beeping. About ten minutes later, I thought I could smell that the gas had turned on.

Yep, they had turned it on to 350°. Maybe they wanted to make Steven a new cake?! How thoughtful!
