Let there be cake!!
Monday, March 1, 2010
A friend of ours, Sophie G-C, celebrated her birthday yesterday, and Hubs and I hosted a little par-tay at our place. I wanted to make a cake instead of buying one, so I was going to do something similar to the one I made for Hubs for his "21st" last year, ie, a big chocolate cake with lots of sprinkles in the shape of an "S". But NOOOOO (said in a whiny voice) Hubs had to come up with something even BETTER. He said I should make a Superman cake instead! That way the "S" could stand for Sophie!
I looked up some pictures (thanks Google!) and found a couple of REALLY impressive ones, as well as a few amateur ones and had a feeling mine was going to look a little dodgy, but, I wanted to give it a go. I made my square cake, rotated it 45 degrees, chopped the top off, printed out a template, dyed some icing some Super great colours and iced to my heart's content. And I gotta say, I was SUPER chuffed with the end product:
That IS a fantastic cake! (i was going to say 'super') You're developing quite a repertoire.
Oh, and for all the geometry nerds, yes the '90 degrees' is measured on the wifey scale - which converts to 45 degrees on our scale.
Awesome cake my dear! Very impressive.
Not only is that a stupendous cake - but the photo of you icing it is pretty super too!!
Thanks! Hubs took that photo. I just had so much fun doing it that I want to try something else!
