Yes, we are a little nuts.

No, I don't know how we're going to cut it.

Yes, it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys to make--but it took FOREVER...

I was actually going to do both pickles and bacon, but my fondant foo was getting tired!

That is marvelous almost beyond words!!! I am just giggling in total delight. What a great, great thing to do. Please pass my good birthday wishes on to Paul as well.

It's our tradition that we always make each other's birthday cake, and it's never the same one twice. It's fun to think about, it's fun to plan for, and it's fun to do.

This one, however, is probably the wildest one I've ever made for him.

Be sure I've passed your good wishes along.

Happy Birthday to Paul

Great job on the burger cake. How long did it take to make it?

I'd have to say that it took about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Most of that time was doing the fondant--getting the color all through it evenly took a bit of time and patience.

I probably should have dyed it while it was still very soft, right after I made it, but I didn't think to do it. So it took a bit of elbow grease to get that done.

I think another thing that slowed me down some was that it was very humid here yesterday, do getting everything to the right consistency took a bit of work as well.
