So, back in November, my friend Erin asked me if I would make the cake for her daughter Ella's 2nd birthday. I said sure and then Erin told me that Ells had been talking about me making her a "tunkin cake." Which, loosely translated is, "pumpkin cake." She's way too cute to say no to--so I made this:
She still talks about it. It was very fun.
At Ella's party, my friend Jess pulled me aside and told me, not asked me--if you know Jess, this makes perfect sense--that I was going to make Max's (her son) cake, too. Then, I think she pinched me. I can't be sure, but it's something she'd do.
Anyway. Max is way too cute to say no to, as well--so, I made him his cake this weekend. I have to say, folks--this was crazy. To make that pumpkin, I had to be brave. To make this train, I had to be fearless. I spent Friday night and Saturday night working on it and I've decided that cake-making/decorating is art. And I dig it.
Here's Thomas:
And here's Swells blowing out his candles (and that little blondie behind him is Ella):
If you're interested, I have more pictures and you can see how I did it step by step HERE.
