Hello Hailey! Er... I mean Kitty!

For Hailey's 22nd Birthday, her friends Tanya and Christine made a request for a Hello Kitty birthday cake. In fact, the whole party was Hello Kitty themed!!

Here's the cake that I whipped up that happened to match the plates, and the bow matched Hailey's hair!

So, Mike wanted a Roberto Luongo helmet for his birthday.... it sounded like a challenge, but I was up for it. I started by baking the cake, and stacking them and doing a "rough draft" of the carving... so to speak.
I went to the store... came home... and Mike had taken matters into his own hands! He said that my helmet looked more like this -


He wouldn't stand for anything less than an exact replica of his hockey hero's helmet. See below the results of his hard work.







Pretty impressive! He has nearly out mastered the teacher. He has been promoted from detailing lackey to co-cakemaker. :)
