Birthday Cake : Decision Made!


So it's been decided. This year's birthday cake request is Club Penguin. L loves to play on it, it's an online game where your character is a penguin, and you can run around and play games to earn penguin money and buy things like clothes and pets. It seems to be really popular among the kids these days, there's club penguin books, games, cards, stuffed animals, figurines.. etc. 

So the project this year will be to create a Club Penguin themed cake. I got some new springform baking pans over the weekend, and the cutest little mixing bowls. Cow print on the outside and piggy colored pink on the inside. TOTALLY CUTE. 

I think as I bake more, my drawing skills will improve. At least that's my hope. My drawing skills are really bad, I can only draw stick figures. (Sometimes those come out bad too, uneven stick arms and legs, lol) I've been working on some rough draft sketches for how to make this cake. My penguin drawings look like eggs with feet.I'm better with fondant than a pencil and paper, ha. 

Mother's Day was awesome, I got a great home cooked meal, Beef and Chicken Fajitas. YUM. With Pico de Gallo, and fresh guacamole, flour tacos. YUM. I stuffed myself silly with the great Mexican food. I'm still eating the tons of leftovers today, no cooking!
