cakewalk

I've been away visiting the folks in the San Francisco Bay area. Spent a day helping my sister make cakes for my father's birthday party. With the addition of another sister's chocolate mousse cake, there were six cakes altogether. Whew! Plant photos to come.


This was my contribution, and yes, I made the rose from fondant. Looked better in real life than in the photos, but oh well. OCD* is a necessary qualification to making this cake.

Chocolate mousse cake and swirly circle cake made by a sister.

My 10 year-old niece made this one. How cool is this? I love it.

All of us together made this one.

One sister and I made a frog-on-a-lily-pad cake. I didn't think about taking a photo until it was almost devoured. Sister made the frog.*Obsessive-compulsive disorder.
