another year another cake

This time last year,

I made a Barbie Cake for the grand daughter's birthday.

Ball gown Barbie Cake for a special girlie

It was a surprise and a BIG hit. 

This year, instead of a surprise,

I asked if she had a cake request. 

Without pause, she answered:

"Surfing Barbie".

Really?  Surfing?

Barbie Surfing?

So... I baked a big sheet cake and a little square cake.

I did some trimming and shaping,

iced and sprinkled sugar "sand".

Then I fought to open the Barbie box, again.

 This is what I ended up with:

surfing Barbie cake for a special 6 year old

Verdict?

"Aaaawesome"

That's a big thumbs up from a 6 year old, don't you think?

And, then there's this little cutie -
he is a veggie connoisseur:

Don't be taking my corn!
