This past weekend we had a little celebration in honor of Catherine's 4th birthday..not quite here yet, actual day is July 31st. Remembering my childhood birthdays what I remember are the cakes..cakes that my mom made, not cakes that came from a bakery, not cakes that came from some kind of specialty place, but a cake made at home by mom. A few of those cakes I remember, not necessarily what they were, but how they were made. a character pan of some sort and then icing piped ever so carefully on the cake to resemble the character. SO..being the Aunt Leslie that I am, I decided Catherine just HAD to have one of those cakes.
On a mission, I went to Michaels to see what they had...and to see if they still made character pans...I was in luck..they didn't have one or two..they had more like 20!! AAAHHH..now what, which character do I make..so I called Nan-na who was eating with Catherine and asked which she would like the most, Strawberry Shortcake, a Princess Coach or Ariel (the little mermaid for those who are not in tune with their disney cartoons) It was decided that Catherine would like Ariel..So, the fun began.
The Official Cake Pan..Ariel
The food coloring, and supplies needed
Ariel has made it safely out of the oven and the pan
OH NO!!! Where is Ariel's hair!?!?!?!?
Finally finished..isn't she Beautiful??
I just LOVE my Ariel Cake Aunt Leslie..can you make me another one next year???
(oh no, what kind of tradition have I just put myself in??)
