Ann Marie's Shower

Today was Ann Marie's shower, and i am so thankful it is done. my mother has been nothing but pure crazy because of it and it really is a nice now that it is over. with that said it was a very nice shower and i got to see a lot of people that i really love, and though it was a mad house i was glad to see Ann Marie happy, Britten had fun because she did some of the games and Mom's hard work paid off. but i'm not going to lie, and i think that all would agree that the best part WAS THE CAKE!!! it truly was AMAZING!! i mean, i could for sure work on some of my skills working with foundent and perhaps some day the cakes i make will look perfect like i want them to, but for what it was it was good. see here is a picture.

it was inspired by the book "the Hungry caterpillar" he does all his art work with tissue paper so everything is really textured looking so i marbled the foundent with a few different colors. i have to give some credit where credit is due.
first to Will, it was his idea to use the sour sticks for the hair and to make the inside to be "red velvet" flavored, i still don't know what that flavor is, but it's yummy.
then to Ann Marie who lovingly put every little hair in the cake and she did so with so much care and "skills" :O) apparently that was the only thing that she can do with this sort of stuff. turns out that my terribly talented musically inclined sister can't do artsy stuff to save her little. so i had much joy making fun of her skills making strawberries that strongly resembled pizza. it was VERY amusing for me, we had a good time doing it. it was good bonding time.
All in all i liked how it turned out and i had a lot of fun doing it. and i loved that everyone told me that i was just "so good" that i "really out did myself!" it felt good. i'm not going to lie.
PS i have a weird look on my face because the cake was surprising heavy and i didn't want to drop the cake so it just got a little awkward towards the end.
