Here is a picture of the birthday cake (Cute Little Critter) that I made for Rylie this year. In some ways it was easier than the other types of decorating I've done. On the other hand, it was harder. See those little tiny flowers all over the critter's body? Well, you have to make those ahead of time with royal frosting, which is the same type of frosting you use to make gingerbread houses, that firms up after sitting for a while. I had to make 56 of them! I tried making them with the decorating tip that it calls for but, that was a joke for a few reasons. #1: My tremors were not helping the flowers look normal! #2: The frosting kept hardening in the tip and wouldn't come out evenly. #3: It was just making me angry and it wasn't worth it! So, I came up with my own way of making the flowers. It was so fun making a girly cake this year!!! Wednesday, March 18, 2009

So cute! Dude I can't even believe Rylie is a year old already!
Wow! You are amazing! I cannot for the life of me decorate cakes.
are you for hire? Stockton want a soccer ball cake for his b-day...
The cake turned out adorable!!! I know what you mean about the royal icing drop flowers. I hate doing them too and mine sucked. And I don't even have hand tremors!! The way you did them turned out great.
That cake is so cute, I would have had a hard time cutting into it after all that work:) Happy B-lated Birthday Rylie
That is ADORABLE!
