Mar 19, 2009 at 2:19 pmThese are all wonderful! Such a timely post as I just blogged about a party for my son where I attempted to make the cake. It was a bit of an embarrassment, to say the least.
*Maybe* after seeing this, I’ll try again.

Apr 3, 2009 at 1:57 amVery creative! I like your use of the marshmallows for the flowers. Keep up the great posts…chefRob
Apr 3, 2009 at 9:29 amThis is cool, but I can’t imagine that the chow mein noodles in the lion one would make the cake taste very good.
Apr 3, 2009 at 12:25 pmI was so inspired by this article that I created a promotion on my blog featuring invitations that match the cakes. We are giving away a set of 20 custom printed invitations to the lucky winner who posts their favorite combo on our facebook page. http://www.salutations.com/inspirations-newsletter/
