cake

I'd like to think that this cake really does have lots and lots of separate little layers, each one wrapped in its own pretty tissue paper just a little different than the one below it.

That is one giant wooden block your sushi is sitting on. Is it special Japanese cherry wood? What's that? It's a cake? Oh very well then, you may proceed with your revelry as planned.

If I had made these sweet little bee pops I would have included a healthy pinch of spicy pepper for a little sting. Don't want to deny the bees their birthright!

When I was a kid my mom had a cookbook all about how to make creative cakes with nothing but a round cake pan, a bundt pan and a square pan. She made caterpillars and castles and Snoopy and all sorts of amazing creations but I don't think I ever saw a donut. It's so simple it just slipped under the radar.

Stacking up a few brownies and putting sprinkles on them makes them about a hundred times more fancy.

I know a few of you would be stoked just to get a cone full of frosting. You can have it and I'll take the real cake.

I always thought that large Lego cakes looked so fussy with all the cupcake bumps that you have to frost separately and all that. This is an ingenious solution with round candies! Let's just hope Jackson is old enough to not smash all the bits together to try and build something.

Oh, poor baby isn't old enough to appreciate the glory of this amazing cake. What a shame.

This cake is not kidding with it's carrotness. Carrotosity? Self reference? I mean come on, there are real carrot greens going on. You have to respect that.

Yaaaaaay! We get to go SWIMMING! We LOVE swimming! Tea pool, tea pool, our faaaaavorite! Thanks so much for the ride to the pool!

I love getting a chance to peek behind the scenes.

That sneaky octopus looks like he's ready to blow out that green candle the moment you light it. You could literally wipe that look off his face and save a lot of trouble.

Jelly shots aren't always super classy, and little cakes aren't always exciting. But when you can combine the two and get a little boozy jolt from your mini Boston cream pie cake, you've hit the snack jackpot! The snackpot?

Could you possibly refrain from eating this cake to see what wacky adventures they'd get up to?

Looks like Hello Kitty here has gotten a jump start on summer vacation and hit the beach. Maybe you should use a higher SPF nest time kitty! And reapply often!

I suppose if they fail to stack neatly we can just eat the extras and chalk the failure up to experience.
