Penguin

By Rod Drury, February 27th, 2010

Birthday cakes are a big tradition at our place.  This year was the turn of the lady of the house ...

Prior cakes include the IRB and airplane.

  1. I saw the title and immediately thought publishing but hey, a cute cake works for me too! Thank goodness my days of artful decoration are almost over. That said, I’ll never forget that first teddy bear b’day cake I attempted and the icing wouldn’t stick to the sides. I’ve learned a few little tricks since then. A cool alien cake with half avocados for eyes, a black and yellow smiley face that totally upset all the Napier hill mums because the kids came home with black teeth, clothes, hair… thankfully my no-fail, beat-the-hell-out-of-it-for-three-minutes chocolate cake smothered in lollies or strawberries can work wonders on most occasions!

  2. That is a mint cake – does the lady of the house bake for mothers who are completely incompetent bakers?
    Recently I got an email from a client who has come across a master cake baker on Trademe – http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Party-festive-supplies/Kids-parties/Other/auction-282998629.htm

  3. OMG! I just looked at the IRB and aeroplane and racing car – Anna, you are really talented!

  4. Easy tiger. I did the IRB. However since Penguin (and puffle) we have had Barbie and Blues Clues.

  5. In the interests of sharing the talents of local people, here’s a cake maker you just can’t go past… http://cakesbystaceyjohnson.com/Welcome.html

    Stacey had a daughter at the same pre-school that my wife Kirsty teaches at, and if you take a look at the Celebrations page you can see almost half way down on the left my birthday cake that Kirsty commissioned for last year. It’s a cake replica of my ACTUAL laptop, with a book I really own (just ask Matt!) and a screenshot of my actual desktop at the time. I’ve never seen anything like it and I was TOTALLY speechless.

    The Dory beneath the laptop was one me and the folks at Farmlands got made when Hamish left to return to Wray and his pals at Need-a-Nerd.

  6. Rod! I am so impressed!!! You know if this whole ‘hi-tech entrepreneur’ stuff doesn’t work out…
