Well, I baked a cake yesterday and baked a blueberry pie  and frosted the cake today. It all worked fine! We cut a slice of cake for Anne, put candles in it, and set it in front of her, away from the remaining cake, so she could blow out the candles without blowing on everyone else&#8217;s cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"367\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CakeDecoratingSetupSmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1230\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CakeDecoratingSetupSmall.jpg 350w, http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CakeDecoratingSetupSmall-286x300.jpg 286w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought that was a picture of the cake, but I decided there was too much blank canvas at the top, so I added some more flowers and some vines holding them together<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"343\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CakeDecoratedSmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1231\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CakeDecoratedSmall.jpg 350w, http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CakeDecoratedSmall-306x300.jpg 306w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s the slice with candles to be blown out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rollingonone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CandlesOnASliceSmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1232\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went over to Charley&#8217;s backyard for a birthday party for Anne.
