• Cake Party

  Last night, one of our neighbors, Elisabeth, came over so I could help her bake a cake for her husband's birthday party that's tonight (it's also a party for me since her husband and I have birthdays just a day apart! I thought that was a sweet of them to include me too!). She doesn't know how to cook or bake so I told her she was welcome to come over and I would gladly help her out.
  We went to the store together and I helped her pick out all the ingredients. We stood in line to check out for nearly half an hour because the person in front of us was probably Methusala's widow and kept wandering off with her walker instead of paying for her groceries. It was quite the adventure.
  After we got home I whipped everything together and put it in the oven. We talked and sketched while the cake baked and cooled and afterwards we decorated it. Even Reid got in on the cake making party we were having. It was quite fun.
  Here's how it turned out! I think it looks pretty awesome considering none of us have ever decorated a cake before!

  

  

  I love the tail! We used a can of icing that came with several different decorating tips (worked like a can of whipped cream except it was really awkward and hard to use. I wouldn't really recommend it). We used the "leaf" tip to create the look of scales! I really like the little curl of the tail at the end.
