Happy Birthday....That's No Bull!

I have AWESOME friends who challenge me!  This was SO MUCH FUN to create!  My beef-producing hubby even got in on the experience with questions about head shape.  He just wasn't seeing it when it was a lump of cake with other lumps of cake stuck on top of it with skewers and frosting for mortar, but I think what I saw in my head ended up on the cake!  He's almost too cute to eat! 

 

Thanks, MH,  for asking me to help make your cowboy's birthday extra special - and praise Jesus he only wanted the head! 

I wasn't sure how to make an anatomically correct cake! 

 

By the way....wouldn't everyone like to make fence out of frosting?  It is much easier to carve your initials in icing than wood! 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Cake

If you are my age, you well remember Saturday morning cartoons with your little brother, watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  It is such a plausible idea that turtles living in the sewers could be doused accidentally with toxic waste and turned into mutant fighting ninjas, right?  Of COURSE!  And even more believable that they would speak surfer lingo - DUUUUUUUUDE!  Anyway, I digress. 

Here is the cake version - neither mutant, nor toxic.  I hope the 5 year-old who celebrates with Michaelangelo, (or whatever the blue turtle's name is) has a very awesome birthday!
