Sorry guys for my procrastination. Our Internet service over here is : p so, it wouldn't upload my pics from last week and it also wouldn't publish it. So, here is what I wrote last week and there (hopefully) will be another one this weekend as well for the next cake.
Hey, week...whatever of this blog and we are going to stop from going back to the past for a little while and focus on the present. Today, Shannon had her birthday party and mom made an awesome cake. For Shannon's Birthday she took 8 of her friends, rented a limo, and went to go see Megamind and have a b-day party at the movie theatre. Since her birthday was a movie party, mom made a movie theme cake with popcorn and movie reel.
So, we were going to do it with fondant but we ended up not doing that because it looked fine without the fondant. So it's a two tier cake and for those of you who don't know what that means, it means a two layer cake. It's kind of elegant. It's frosted in mom's butter cream...and well I just say now, it's all mom's butter cream. So, mom has her little decorations around the bottom of each layer.
Then we have the writing "Happy 12th Birthday Shannon" on the top of the bottom tier and let me just say ... not all great artists are perfect :). OK, now the decorations. The cake reel is actually just a roll of ribbon that looks like the photo reel and then mom made the top and bottom of it with fondant. The popcorn container was made out of a container from Michael's and then Shannon drew the popcorn container designs on it. Then mom, bought the little marshmallows and cut them but not all the way and then painted them yellow with food coloring. Came out quite nicely.
So, we all enjoyed the cake along with the movie and the movie birthday party goers left the place in a limo and happy as can be.
