I always volunteer to make all the birthday cakes for my family, with
the exception of my brother's cake. My sister-in-law always makes that
one. Well, this year my nephew requested a "monster" cake. I had this
brilliant idea of how to make a furry monster cake. It ended up being a
lot more difficult to make, and the results were far below my original
expectations. And, as usual, I was doing it late at night and at the last minute. He loved it though, and that's what counts.
He
also requested that I make some monster themed cupcakes for birthday
party at school. These turned out much better. I use the grass tip for
the yellow icing. The arms were pretzel sticks. The eyes were white
icing and sparkly piping gel. I used a triangle of strawberry fruit
roll-up for the tongue. They turned out looking rather happy and totally unscary. He said that his friends LOVED them. Score one
for Auntie!
