Alyssa's Birthday Cake - Take 2

This is a re-make of the cake I made Alyssa for her birthday party with some friends. Haylie kept trying to eat the M&M's, so I stuck the cake in the oven to protect it (something we do all the time).

The party was a make your own soap and pizza party. When it was time for the girls to make their pizzas, I turned on the oven to preheat it. Well, I failed to remove the cake first and we ended up with a very exciting birthday party complete with a small oven fire. The good news from all of this was that Jesse was able to buy a new cake; we have 2 ovens, so the pizzas still got cooked; and, I learned that my plastic cutting board can withstand being put in the oven and not melt (just the frosting and toppings melted off).

Since Alyssa was sad about her melted cake, I promised a re-make to celebrate her birthday with Grandpa's birthday when Grandma and Grandpa came to visit.
