I made this one for DD2's 2cd birthday last March. Used candy melts for the eyes/nose/mouth.
She loved it and tried to kiss Elmo.
You can see the little red dot of frosting on her chin.
This is the eagle cake I posted recently, DH and I made it for DD2's fifth birthday b/c she wanted a bird cake and eagles are her favorite bird. DH cut the shape and did the shading around the eye, I did everything else.
Second birthday: The Duff brand fondant tastes a lot better than Wilton. Attempted homemade and tossed it.
Third birthday: Used the ball pan from the first year, it got stuck in the pan. Said fuck it. Went to Walmart with no luck, then to the grocery store were a sympathetic baker said she'd get something together for the next morning. Brought DS along to play the cute factor.
Fourth birthday: Went straight for grocery store cake.
Here is the boy's 2nd birthday cake. I can do cupcakes & cake pops, but cakes are a distant 3rd. This was a mold with step-by-step directions, clearly.
