And in case you thought that I only ever make elaborately decorated cakes:
Yes, this cake is for me. (Who else was going to make one??) It's chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting! Yum! I can't wait to eat it!

More cake!
Last weekend I completed a cake that was for one of the preschool auction winners. This is for a 4-year-old boy who loves Pablo the penguin of the Backyardigans. Pablo, to my delight, has a perfectly round head and I recently purchased a ball cake pan...! After I first assembled this cake and left it overnight, the head started to roll off. I repaired it and added a better dowel, but I was petrified driving over to deliver it that it would fall apart! I hope it made it through the whole party! Note that the body, arms, hat, and beak are make of molded rice crispy treat.

Wow. And you're doing all of this off of ONE cake decorating class? I think you got your money's worth! So when are you opening your business? :)
Honestly, the class was only so-so. The teacher left something to be desired. But she did teach me a couple of tricks that have helped polish things up a bit. And the rest, I just learn by doing. Every cake teaches me something new that I'll try differently the next time. And I look a lot online. (See coolest-birthday-cakes.com!) This time I learned that a bamboo skewer does NOT make a good supportive dowel!
