Audrey's Birthday Cake

THIS IS INSANICAL (I couldn't find a good enough word in the thesaurus so I made up my own)!!!  My sister Audrey is turning four in seven days!!!  Anyways, we celebrated her birthday on Sunday and guess who got to decorate the cake?!

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so proud of myself, I feel dramatic happy tears coming to my eyes.  I thought I did quite well speaking that Mom and Dad weren't home and I wanted to surprise Mom by having the cake decorated before she came home.  Ok, so maybe it wasn't completely done when Mom and Dad arrived but it was pretty close to being finished.  The cake was a Polly Pocket beach scene and the icing was royal (my little brother can't have any dairy and I wanted him to be able to eat some too), so it was kind of a pain to squirt the flowers on, but other than that it was super fun to make.

All of the props are all plastic; they are NOT fondant.  I'm not good with sculpting (something I hope to work on).

Question of the day:

Have you ever decorated a cake?  If so, what has been your favorite cake you've decorated?

Me:

DUH!!!  The Polly Pocket cake.
