It was Mike Smith’s birthday yesterday and I baked him this cake. It’s supposed to be a hula-hooping, trombone player walking down a mushroom-lined path to the forest of 40. Originally, I planned to have some gnomes and bunnies as well.
I don’t think I’m going to do frosting decoration anymore–it could be one of those things that I just have to do the right way once before I get it…but I’ve tried it a few times now and for me it’s so much harder than it looks that I think I’m better off spending my time baking.
