2008-06-30T11:17:00.001-07:00

Emma is all into saying-ISH about everything so I made this cake for her 13th birthday. She loves the colorful mints I make so I added those all around the cakeboard in flavors of Dreamsicle and Cheescake. I added the little 13s with frosting.

Pokemon- the Giant

2008-06-30T11:08:00.000-07:00

This cake was MASSIVE!!! It was as big as my stove top. Half chocolate and half white. This is the whole reason I came up with delivery fees. I freehand drew the pokemon characters- Turtwig and Chimchar by referencing my son's Pokemon book and shirt. He had on a t-shirt and I made him keep coming back so I could look at it again and again.
