Holy Cake and Ice-cream Batman!

Oh bless! Mr. Tomato Eyes is 5 years old. Wasn’t it only yesterday that I was baking this cake for his 4th birthday? Due to time constraints I reluctantly decided to have someone else make the cake. This was no easy decision since I was and am totally convinced that I am entirely qualified to make this cake myself.

What are my qualifications? To be honest I’ve never worked with fondant before. Does rolling marzipan and playing with of Plasticine help? Go on, doesn’t it look like modeling clay, albeit tasty modeling clay. How about boundless enthusiasm for trying new things in the kitchen?

So anywhoooos, my entire mom universe depended on this cake being a success. Remember this is the child who thinks that I am omnipotent which is a good thing when getting him to bend to my will and pick up his toys and such. Not such a good thing when you try to suggest that your powers might be limited to a simpler cake.

Enter Twinkle Sprinkle. Sounds like a fairy is going to work some magic doesn’t it. Well that’s exactly what happened and the result was the lovely cake pictured above. The sprite responsible for this bit of cake magic is called Sarah. In the end I sure am glad that I left this sugared modeling clay project in her capable hands. Sarah’s marshmallow fondant was a hundred million times more delicious than the commercial stuff which I planned on using. Bleh! Here is a link to Sarah’s blog. Go give her some props and tell her how lovely you think her cake turned out. You can also leave a comment for her on her facebook page
