Channeling my inner Martha Stewart

A few weeks ago, I asked Neko what she wanted her birthday cake to be like. Last year it was the princess castle cake. This year she said she wanted a Little Einsteins rocket cake. Just as I started researching that, we entered the dinosaur phase. And then she moved on to wanting a dinosaur cake.

Thank goodness for the internet, which helped me find these great instructions for how to create a dinosaur cake. She spent the last few days wavering between allosaurus and stegosaurus, but settled today on a blue stegosaurus. With a little modification and a big leap of faith, I jumped in, hoping it would turn out okay.

Special thanks to Bonnie and Susie for cheering me on and to Bonnie for snapping some pix while in progress. On a side note, should you try one of these crazy endeavors, I cannot recommend enough Wilton Sparkling Sugars, which covered up all kinds of oops moments and gave this reptile a little extra zing.

Now I just need to figure out how to do a Wiggles car for Shep’s birthday…
