Hunting

Well, I spent most of my morning hunting for a specific cake pan so I could make Dean the perfect cake (as he described it). It had to be a spider man cake. I tired to figure out a way to make a free form spider man cake but wasn't confident that i could make it look as well as I would want so decided to go buy a cake pan shaped liked spider man. As popular as spider man is right now you wouldn't think it would be hard to find. WRONG!!!!

Ended up going to 4 stores before I finally found it. Now this cake is for his party that we are having on Saturday as Thursday(his birthday) isn't really a good day for birthday parties.
We also have to have a dozen cupcakes to take to school on Wednesday to share with all of his friends. Of course for school they have to be store bought . NO ONE sells spider man cupcakes. So tomorrow I am off to find some sort of spider man figurine to put on top of the cupcakes I am getting from the store.

With all of this hunting, I was also hunting for a soccer goal. Not the ordinary metal framed goal. We had seen a while ago a pop up goal. Made out of the same material that tents are made of . Easy to put up and take down when Dean is going to practice soccer but wont be a permanent thing in the backyard to have to mow around. Should have bought it the day I saw it but thought Nah... i will wait till closer to his birthday and pick it up. Took 5 stores to finally find it again. But I won! I found the soccer goal and the cake pan. May be a small victory but a victory none the less. lol I will take what I can get.
