So I drove up to Nashville on Saturday morning, for my cutey patootey nephew's birthday at the Science Center. And... I took a cake with me! He asked for a Pokemon cake... so here's what he got. It was an experiment, as I don't really particularly like fondant, but I knew it would travel better. So it's chocolate cake with slightly coconut flavored buttercream and marshmallow fondant. The fondant was supposed to be all blue, but I had a little mishap with one of my smoothing sponges that had yellow on it... hence the two tone cake... hmph. The poke creatures on the sides were made from royal icing... but Pikachu is fondant, as is the sign that is missing the little dash above the e. *shrugs*
The aquarium cake was made for his actual birthday on Sunday. I swear it should been on cakewrecks... I won't tell you why. It turned out okay, for being done way too late, when I was way too tired and silly.
All in all, it was a good time and I was glad I got to see them! ((hugs her family))




IN OTHER NEWS.... :P
Grandad is doing better, or was as of Friday night. They took him off the ventilator and he was sitting up. I am so grateful for all the messages and notes I've gotten, offers to take my kids, plane tickets, and such. So grateful!! You have no idea. As of right now, I am not too worried about going up anymore. If things change, you'll know it!
(((HUGS HER FRIENDS!!!)))
