Cream Cheese Frosting Causing Major Baby Swimming

This poor kid is having a sugar shock right now. Last night I made the carrot cake for Joe's bday coming up tomorrow and the Cream Cheese frosting tonight. A full carrot cake is too much for the 4 of us, so I made 2 single layer cakes instead and will bring one to work tomorrow. The frosting is made of 16oz cream cheese, a stick of butter, some vanilla, and 4 CUPS of confectioners sugar. Yes, you read that right. 4 CUPS! Of course I licked the bowl, the spoon, the hand mixer attachments, etc. Shelagh and I almost had a fist fight over the spatula.

Here is the cake...


Here are the kids trying to "calm down and relax" after licking frosting and running around the house in circles. Shelagh was trying to teach Rory how to sit "criss-cross-applesauce" or "Indian-style" as we used to call it. It might as well have been advanced yoga for him. He just gave up and flopped down on his back.

I hope your ginger kid drowns in cream cheese.
