Cake and Mushrooms....yum!

I volunteered to make a babyshower cake for a friend of Sue's and it turned out pretty good I think.

My friend Jessica got me involved in her mushroom hunts. She hunts for morels and it is actually kinda fun to do....even though I don't care to eat them unless very tiny and hidden in foods. The bowl is the bounty she got when she went with another friend of hers and the small pile on the side is what we found the next day at a couple different spots.

Logan's birthday cake

Here is Logan's race car cake. I am pretty proud of how well it turned out. I have been preparing the red and black frosting since Thursday and Fri to get them dark enough. So they sat on my counters in bowls and I just stirred them occasionally. It worked great. I guess that is the trick to the deep colors. If I had not prepared them in advance, they would have been purple and pink, just like what happened with Brandon's last birthday cake....my bad! I will post pictures of Logan at his party soon.
