ok, so you know its bad when the people you talk to on the phone ask when you're going to post pictures of Carlise's birthday cake. So there are two cakes. funny story about that. It says to make your favorite two layer cake recipe or mix. I've never baked a 2 layer cake so I call Anna right before she went to bed and ask how many boxes of cake mix do you need for a 2 layer cake. She tells me 2. So we bought two boxes of cake mix and proceeded to mix them up & pour them in the pan which made it very full. So full that once it was in the oven it started to bubble and rise over the edges and fall on the element. And start a fire. Now Ben was in the kitchen when this happened and I was nursing Josie in the living room. I've already dealt with a fire from a cake issue in the oven (another story). So he gets the fire situation taken care of and removes the pan while I make a phone call to Anna again. I ask so how many boxes of cake mix do you need for a 2 layer cake? She replies 2 (again, but I called her in the middle of a nap so sleep deprivation is involved again as well). then I tell her what happened and she busts out laughing and apologizes. Now it wasn't Anna's fault had either of us bothered to read the whole box, we would've realized that. So, we had 2 cakes.
