^ That's the party table.
^ Mila's cake. Perrin made it - isn't it lovely? The roses are made out of white chocolate and the cake is fridge cake. It was DELICIOUS.
^ This is Hudson's cake, the one Mom and I made. To make the grass, we died coconut green and put it around the scorpion. We made the limbs and tail out of date ball batter (If you want to do the same, use any date ball batter recipe) and shaped them with our hands. The body, pincers and stingers are made out of chocolate bean cake, sugar-free, wheat-free and gluten-free, oh, and, yummy! Here's a link to the recipe.
^ Here's a close up of one of Perrin's wonderful roses. Doesn't it look so real and so beautiful?
^ This is the scorpion cake from a different angle.
^ I went in closer with the camera, to show you the fly that the scorpion is eating. Eww, I know! But Hudson, being a typical boy, liked it!
^ Lighting Mila's cake.
^ Lighting Hudson's cake.
^ Mila blowing her candles out. Such a pretty birthday girl!
^ And Hudson blowing out his candles. :D
We had so much fun! Mila and Hudson loved it. Thanks for reading!

What do you mean these aren't good pictures? =] They are great! Captured memories... The cakes looked delicious! though I have to say I like the looks of Mila's better than Hudson's... ;D

Hi Sarah! I say that they aren't really good photos because there was so much more opportunity and better angles for me to have shot at. Thanks for commenting!

Happy birthday to them! Looks like fun and both cakes are AMAZING! I would have never guessed the roses were white chocolate... I thought they were real!
ReplyDeleteHey Kennedy! Yes, I would also say Perrin did a FANTASTIC job. ;) She's training to be a proffesional chef and by next year, she will be. Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment!

Super photos and delicious cakes. Yup, I'd vote for the roses as exquisite and very realistic. Please tell Perrin well done. But I'm sure the creative prize goes to the scorpion as that couldn't have been easy and yet looks very real too - even to the fly being eaten! That is above and beyond the call of duty for the cake makers but I'm sure Hudson was delighted. Well done, madame photographer too.
ReplyDeleteHey Nana! Thanks for your wonderful comment. :) It made me smile! I will tell Perrin.
