So, even though I don't prepare well for parties, the one thing I ALWAYS remember is to ask the birthday girl what kind of cake she wants. Millie wanted a lion. I finished him, frantically, minutes before the first partygoers arrived.
rebecca, they are made from marzipan i've had sitting around the house, just waiting to be made into lion ears for those times when a frazzled mama needs some.
gracie, i stole the idea from this fellow. he doesn't give instructions, and i didn't have the right frosting tips, but it's easy to see that i'm only a copycat.
Thanks, but just don't tell Sian. I hear he's easily offended.
(And Purdy boys, I enjoyed imagining you teasing electronically from computers adjacent to each other; though you may have used the same computer at different times, it was a fun imagining.)
I didn't make the marzipan, though I'd like to make some over the holidays to make marzipan animals. I bought a small can of it on the clearance rack at Tops a year ago, and was glad I remembered it when it was time to shape the ears!
Whoa. That is good. If I was a little kid I would envy having that lion cake.
ReplyDeleteThat is a GREAT cake! You should make a cake book! I wonder though, what are the ears made of?
ReplyDeletethis qualifies as a skill.
ReplyDeleterundy,
ReplyDeletewhat about when you're a big kid?

correction: he DOES give instructions, but one has to pay for them, which amounts to the same thing for me...
ReplyDeleteRundy will never be a big kid so how would he know?
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean is that now that I am BIGGER I want to eat the berry-cream-pie thing further below.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it. And your's looks WAY better than his.
ReplyDeleteThanks, but just don't tell Sian. I hear he's easily offended.

GREAT CAKE!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is one using a computer upstairs while the other uses a computer downstairs . . .
ReplyDeletethis lion is definitely a forest lion. I like him , and i am not quite amazed that you just have marzipan hanging around!
