The bad thing is when I do a cake or something time consuming... Amber is on the loose to do whatever she decides to do. This morning, she colored herself like a "giraffe" and even colored Samantha's face like a "giraffe." Although you can't see Amber's face too much in the picture and I didn't get a picture of Samantha since she was sleeping. Even with a few giraffe's in my house, I managed to get the cake done. Phew!
And I was okay with the results. The hand looked better before I put it on the cake, and it looked better yesterday. Today it got all flat from laying on the plate and I had a hard time making it more 3D. I hope the lady likes it, or more so, I hope her son it good with it.
It seems kind of yucky, grey frosting? But it does taste normal. And the bricks are graham crackers in frosting too.
I love doing cakes, I just stress out too much over it I guess when I do them for other people.

I just finished an "ipod" cake for Rachel's bday tomorrow. Then I come over and see yours. wow. I was feeling all confident in my cake making ability til I saw that cake. You are very talented Karla. How did you make the fist???? you are going to have to post again just to explain the fist...
The mystery hand... is Fondant. It is soft sort of like play-doh or clay, so you just work it like that, or that is what I did anyway. You can buy fondant at stores that sell cake decorating supplies. (I got it at Walmart) Then I used a knife to make the lines on the fingers and also to do the finger nails. That is the secret, which I guess isn't much of a secret anymore huh. Oh well.
