Veggie Tales Cakes

our friend’s little boy Ethan is celebrating his 2nd birthday this weekend. These are the cakes I made for him. larry is made out of a loaf bread pan and 2 halves of a round pan(at the top and bottom).  Bob of course is just a round pan.   usually you would cut off the raised part of the cake to make it level, but w/ these I turned them right side up, as they would be in the cake pan and left them raised which makes them seem more animated(3D)  Since I wasnt sure there would be enough cake for their party I used the leftover batter to make another small round and made that Bob, guessing that could be just the birthday boys cake if they want!   I also still had batter left so I used some pumpkin shaped pans I have and made a few more small bobs w/ that shape.  but I didnt want them to get ruined in transport so theres just a few!   I had fun doing this, I am REALLY glad it turned out so nicely.   It took a while though because I had to keep stopping since my arm hurt and my hands are shaky.    It really frustrates me and I almost started crying when I realized that this is a talent I wont get to use often because of the pain it causes me and also because my hands are getting shakier as I work, I’m guessing a result of tired muscles.    it wasnt that bad, pain wise, I was smart and stopped when I got achy!   the shakiness really was the worst!

this is the smaller round bob

cupcake sized bobs

off to clean up my cake mess and get a nap since it seems the boys wont be back anytime soon…I’ve gotten so much done today, and I’m still in my pjs!  🙂
