It's three photos of LF's 4th birthday cake, so it's under the cut in case the idea of sweet red cakes makes you wanna upchuck!

Colour me impressed :) - and not just for getting the decorations right. The shape must have been pretty challenging?

**claps!**

Thanks!

Yeah, it was two small banana cakes, one left square and the other one chopped up as needed. A bit of carving here and there, a bit of sculpting!

OMG that's AMAZING! I thought you just "drew" a picture on a regular flat cake. I'm boggling. Go you!

haldoor July 26 2006, 20:06:48 UTC

Why thank you! *bows*

My birthday is in 6 weeks, Jane.

...and Jane, you just know what Nick wants for his birthday, right? A Lightning McQueen cake, just like this one!!!

Could you please email her directions on how to make that exact cake? Thanks!

That is an awesome cake! It looks so good, I'd want to eat it but I'd be sad to cut it up into little bits.

haldoor July 26 2006, 20:21:37 UTC

Yeah, that is the hard part - took me 2 & 1/2 hours to decorate, and then we cut it up and ate bits in about 10 mins flat *sobs*. But I have the photos anyway, so that's something!

ex_nomoresci293 July 26 2006, 20:26:26 UTC

I'm glad you have the pictures cause it's quite an accomplishment!

haldoor July 26 2006, 20:30:15 UTC

Thanks! I always take photos, or else I'd feel dreadfully sad if I didn't - all that effort and all (I've done them for most of my kids' birthdays).

It came out perfectly!!!! Wow! You're good. *bows before the queen of cakes*

haldoor July 26 2006, 20:22:31 UTC

Why, thank you, ma'am! It just takes giving it a go, I always say!
