Friday’s Foto Finish Fiesta

Posted on January 23, 2009 by Nancy

Candid Carrie sponsors this one – head over to her blog and find LOTS of links for bloggers who’ve joined in! (You can join in too!)

My Dad makes shaped cakes. It all started when my sister, Meghan, was little. Was the first one a fish? I can’t remember. I know he’s done a tennis racket and ball, the Red Sox socks, a shoe, and many others.

For the twins’ past two birthdays, he’s outdone himself:

2nd Birthday - Elmo

3rd Birthday - Lightnin' McQueen

He’ll be doing one for them this year too 🙂

WOW! He’s good!

Also, red is a very difficult frosting color to achieve. I’m impressed.
