"Watermelon with a Lizard on top" Cake

The day after mother's day when I was dropping off cupcakes to for Stephanie, Aaron asked me to help him with Lilah's birthday cake! And what did Lilah want? A watermelon with a lizard on top! Haha.... well, it has turned out awesome. I baked this 4 level pink with little chocolates (for seeds) cake last night and buillt it up ready for carving. I met Aaron at Mom's place and got him carving the shape of the cake, made icing and kind of directed him on how to do things. Aaron did all the icing and came up with some great color combinations... Awesome job Aaron! It was really fun to work with my brother on this unusual request!.






Aaron just being himself wanted to make a joke cake to tease Lilah with to make her think it didnt turn out that well... pretty fancy!

Building the Cake

Here are a few work in progress pictures of Aaron with the cake!

Yummy!

I love seeing the kids enjoy my work!! (Thanks for the picture Julie!)

Happy Mother's Day!
My intent was to drive around and deliver these to all the mommies I know today, but the Sun Run I did this morning completely exhausted me... If you are a mommy I know, expect to see me tomorrow night!! Luckily I was able to send some home with Brian's sister in law as their family stopped by tonight on their way back to Abbotsford!

I will update more later... Just spent about 5 hours making them!! So tired...

A little preparation

I found a great mould at the store for doing melted chocolate flower popsicles! Since these do not go bad, I figured I had a little time and got to work... I have 2 upcoming events I have these in mind for. I only made 32 and it took me some where between 3-4 hours. Ugh... I should mention that there are only 3 moulds in the tray (that explains the length of time!)
