First up was my BabyGirl's birthday party. It was a small party. Well, small in the sense that it was just family, really, but our family isn't small. So it was a medium sized party, I guess. The cake, however, was more large party sized. It took me the better part of 2 days and about a bazillion steps.
A little extra something on the 5th cake ball:
And it all comes out to be this:
It was a success. Looked good, tasted good. No time to rest. On to the next project: Another Mario Cake.
I'm getting pretty good at these Mario cakes, if I do say so myself. This was my third one. Curly's friend "C" was having a Mario party and his mom is an AMAZING artist, so we worked out a trade. She's going to paint a growth chart for me and I would make the birthday boy a Mario cake.
About halfway through I got nervous that I wouldn't have enough cake for all the guests, so I made up some cupcakes too.
And the final product:
Please notice the caterpillar body part remains in the background. Hee-hee.
We are all caked out around here. Many thanks to my wonderful Husband for not only doing EVERYTHING else while I make these elaborate cakes, but for supporting and encouraging my craziness while I'm making them.
Next weekend I am going to visit a friend who makes the most astounding cakes and she is going to teach me some of her tricks of the trade. I hope some of her creativity and skill rub off on me. But until then, I don't even want to think about cake.
The caterpillar cake is a great idea! I'd never be able to do something like that. Good job!
