Austin wanted a football-shaped cake for his party so I borrowed one from my friend Tara. 
I had a white cake mix so I mixed it up and while it was baking, I went to run a proof to a client.I was gone longer than I thought I would be and ended up burning the cake! I thought I could salvage it by cutting off the burned edges but that didn't work and the cake fell apart!
All was well in the end...I took the icecream that we were going to serve with the cake and just molded it in the pan instead! We added the frosting and decorations and it ended up being perfect. I think the kids enjoyed it more than they would have if it had been cake. I will have to remember to make icecream cakes in the future because apparently my baking skills leave something to be desired!
We held Austin's party with friends the week before his actual party. He wanted to take everyone to the Christa McAuliffe Space Center in Pleasant Grove and that ended up being the only time we could go. He invited his cousin, Jace and a friend named Seth from school. He also invited his good friend Kyle Baugh who used to be our neighbor. Austin was also nice enough to invite Alisha and let her bring a friend (Brianne Baugh - Kyle's sister).
After the space center we came back to the house for pizza, icecream cake and presents.
The boys spent the rest of the evening climbing around on the scaffolding around the house!
