even after the salvage it almost tipped again

We celebrated Callan's birthday with family last night on his actual birthday. The celebration was short and sweet. We played outside, watched the traditional video, opened presents and ate cake. I can't upload the video thanks you youtube and their stupid issues with music in the videos. Anyway, it was a good night with only a few glitches. As you can see I had a few issues with cake. My friend Rene came over in the morning and helped me frost the cakes. After working for several hours the cakes turned out great. We even had the slight crookedness of the Cat in Hat's hat. But over time it keep slipping and eventually took a tumble. On it's way down it hit the "one fish, two fish" fish bowl cake leaving them both damage. So we tried to salvage the cake the best we could. Luckily I got pictures before the cake tumbled to remember it by. Callan enjoyed his party and went to bed in his new jammies given by Oma.
