Very Delicious Food You've Ever Know: Polka Dot Cake

You guys, my baby turns 1 in a week. I have a 1 year-old and a 4 year-old, excuse me, 4 AND A HALF year old (that's very important to include these days, apparently). Time to sob in a corner, buy more anti-aging cream and bake some birthday cake. Which is only my favorite thing to do in the world (bake, that is, I hate skin care). Let me refresh your memory with Jack's first birthday, his second, his third and his fourth. See? I obsess. This birthday was no different. A friend showed me this Polka Dot Cake recipe probably 6 months ago and it was decided. Done! I knew little Etta Bo Betta would be smashing her face in polka dots by the time she turned one. While that is still a week away, I made this cake for a small family gathering last night and it was a success! Fairly simple, not overly time-consuming, and it yields fantastic results. I used a store-bought cake mix for the cake balls and bought this (oh, I think I just might use it again), I used this recipe for the actual cake, and made my buttercream seen here. With the leftover balls, I decorated the bottom of the cake and also I ate them.

Happy 1st Birthday to my spunky little tiger, we love you : )
