We celebrated our second Cars-themed birthday this weekend. This time, Thing 2 chose Mack the truck from the movie. Let me tell you, balancing that monstrosity on my lap as we drove to the party was terrifying. 8 hours of work wobbled precariously in my lap the entire trip. But it made it and was a huge hit with the preschool crowd. Yay for Mama!
Here it is in all its glory...
And I don't think I ever posted the pictures of the three race cars I made for Thing 1's party a few months back. Here you have Chick Hicks, Lightning McQueen and The King.
Whew. I'm all caked out for another year. :)
The cold lingers on, but with the company finally departed, I will settle back into a writing routine. My super-duper CP had some great comments that I'm itching to incorporate into the WIP. Skin is coming together nicely, I think. I'm still without pitch, query or synopsis, so that's on the agenda too.
All in all, a busy couple weeks. Hence the repeat disappearing act. I'll be around to visit you all very soon.
Ciao!

I LOVE that cake! Wow! Very nice!
Thank you, thank you. :) It's always a little painful to see all that work decimated in about two seconds flat. But the boys enjoyed it, and that's what matters.
You are amazing! The best my kids can ever hope for is a Safeway cake with a picture drawn on it LOL!
Wow, amazing cakes! I guessed correctly that you were into food. You have raised it to an art form. When I travel or live abroad, I often find the diet adjustment a challenge. Right now I'm missing Maine maple syrup and berries, but when we move back home from England, I'll miss fish and chips but not mushy peas - yuck! That's how they get them to stick on a fork. My English husband loves them.
Wendy, it really is just a whole lot of patience. I think I use my entire year's quota on those cakes! Nothing wrong with Safeway though...we love their donuts. ;)
Sarah - Thanks for stopping by! Mushy peas...only in England. I'm not a huge pea fan in general, and mushy not at all!
Now I'm missing fish and chips! Something salty after all that cake. ;)
