Birthday Cake!

Several weeks before my birthday my mom called me up and told me they wanted to host a birthday party for me, but that I have to make my own cake. While she was only kidding, I took the offer seriously and started doing my research on cakes - more importantly, butterfly cakes. And now all can see the result! Ta da!

I made the butterfly by taking a round cake, cutting it in half, then set the cut edges away from each other. All it took from there were some subtle notches out of the side, and suddenly I had wings (or at least my cake did). To top it all of, my mom bought some twizzlers for antennas.

After I finished with the cake, there was plenty of frosting left over. So I started decorating my mom's kitchen counters. Needless to say, it wasn't long until I got into trouble. What is a girl to do? Decorate herself! P.S. You really can get away with a lot on your birthday...
