savannah's silly heart cake

oh hi! it's just me at 7 am and i'm up icing a cake for my niece's birthday party.

i may have finally found something to distract me from the oh so tempting wake up jeremy game. although he did come out here once to see what i was doing cause i don't think i've ever entertained myself so early and for so long before.

it's a christmas miracle! in february!

step one: wear a nightgown that matches the colour of the icing you'll be making.

icing is really easy to make. it might even be easier to make than to purchase especially if you purchase it and use the self checkout aisle at the grocery store cause sometimes that is not so easy.


doesn't this look like gum? or taffy? or big dollops of pink marshmallow moosh? it's none of those things but that's a fun game.


i named the cake silly heart because i tried to make normal hearts with the icing bag thing and the outlines turned out all wacky so i went with it and named it and now you know the tale. when life gives you lemons (badly outlined icing hearts), make lemonade (squiggly arty icing hearts that look intentional).



you can tell it's morning cause i have my morning face on. sometimes my morning face looks angry if it's a weekday but now it looks happy cause it's saturday and i'm decorating cake.

time to go show jeremy my work! i mean, time to wait patiently until he gets up and then show him!
