Jessica at Life as Mom is hosting her wonderful Birthday Cake Round-Up again, and I am excited to participate. As a challenge, she made a Dave Ramsey themed cake, which I absolutely love. We are currently in the midst of attending Financial Peace University ourselves and are learning the value of using those cash envelopes!:)
I recently did a WALL-E cake for the Drama Queen's birthday:
Her favorite movie character was created from a 9x13 cake, cut into pieces using the diagram below. I frosted the yellow body first and then added the other parts. The treads were iced in dark gray and were textured with a fork. The arms and head were iced in light gray and the white screen with the birthday message was added last.
And here is my sandcastle cake, made especially for the Spud's first birthday.
The sandcastle cake is made of one 9"round cake and one square cake. The round cake was iced in blue and decorated with gummy fish. The square cake was decorated with light cocoa frosting and topped with ice cream cones, also covered in the light cocoa frosting. I sprinkled the whole cake with vanilla wafer crumbs and added molded chocolate shells. The Spud got his very own special cake - pieces of cake and applesauce layered in a beach pail and topped with the vanilla wafer crumbs and shells. He dug it right out of the pail with his shovel! :)
