Reagan's birthday!

[mellybrelly]

We celebrated here tonight. I made her cake this morning and I think it turned out awesome.



The upset penguin (supposed to be Pingu)



Because the thieving seal stole his bait and tricked him into thinking he had more than one fish!



The fishing hook I'm all proud of:



Tim, after work, making an igloo



The finished product (that look a bit more like boobs than I'd like, in the photos)



A very excited Reagan!



I'm glad she loved it! She liked the little bits of green bait on the seal's nose.. she liked all of it. I'm happy with how well the blue jello water turned out!

Awww! That came out great! I love it! :D

Thank you! I'm so happy with how it turned out! It was smaller than I had originally thought to make it, but honestly, with three of us... just the perfect size.

I had wanted to have Lila and her family over, but they are all gluten-free and I didn't get anything gluten free made, and figured it wouldn't be nice to have cake in front of them!!!! Next time.

is the cake penguin or seal flavored?

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

One layer of nice seal flavour, and then fish for the second layer ;)

...I wasn't going to say anything about the boobs so I'm glad you went there. ;) It's really cute though!

Oh goodness, Regan's hair. I always wanted super curly hair like that, though I bet the frizzies are a pain to manage.

On the weekends I spray it down with water, and put product in it, so it stays nice and not frizzy at all, but during the week they don't use any product, so by the end of the week it's a big puff ball!!! It does take some work to keep it looking nice.

The boob thing killed me because it wasn't noticeable till I photographed it. :P

The picture says it all! :) Look at that face!! :) Way to go, Melanie! It's just great!

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

I love that I caught how excited she was about it! Thank you, I am really proud of how it turned out! I haven't played around with many cakes!

I totally want that cake!
Great job!

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And on top of everything else cool about the cake, it was pretty tasty ;)

[msmcfeeley.livejournal.com]

What kind of cake was it inside?

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Just white cake, I didn't want it too dark since I was just putting white icing on it.

I want to learn how to make good light cakes from scratch though.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Tim is indeed a lefty!

You know, I didn't "see" the boobies till you mentioned it, lol.

Lovely cake, girl...very cool.

(love the expression on her face...)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

She was super excited, which made me happy.

[purpledogmommy.livejournal.com]

Then it was a complete success...:)

How is that ankle of yours?

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

The ankle is a bit tender right now, I spent to much time standing today. It's way better than it was though.

[jamielynnew.livejournal.com]

That cake is adorable beyond words! Judging by Reagan's expression, I'd say she agrees with me :-)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much!!
