I Baked a Cake, Decorated Cookies, Launched a Business… and Almost Cried

Ever baked a cake, decorated cookies, hosted a party, and launched a bounce house business… all in the same weekend?

That was the plan.

In this video, I’m taking you behind the scenes of our boys’ birthday party where I:
– Made Deadpool and Wolverine cookies
– Decorated a cake with royal icing cookie toppers
– Helped Kane set up the yard between icing batches
– And intentionally launched our new family bounce house rental business… right there in our backyard.

There was a 90% chance of rain, zero bounce house experience, and maybe a little too much going on—but everything came together. Our boys had the best time, the bounce house was a hit, and I got some gorgeous golden hour photos to kickstart our marketing.

💬 Tell me in the comments—what’s the most ambitious thing you’ve ever taken on during a party weekend?
