It is a snowy day in Easten PA
I will have to shovel in a little while...
BUT...I can waste some time by
catching up on some of the photos
accumulating since November.
Tillie's family Birthday Party cake...
Mommy Hedgehog and 12 babies...
(German Chocolate cake with Chocolate Mousse icing)
encrusted with chocolate sprinkles...YUM
Lumpy is my "Turtle Man"
the red looked more "brown" without the flash...
The hedgehog baby faces were Hershey's Kisses
covered in fondant...
Tilly did the faces and ears for all the babies...
Lumpy's cake was RATHER Large...
three layers of orange cake with vanilla icing and
covered with almond flavored homemade fondant.
We took all the leftovers to my sister's house...
we left the next morning to get there...
At my big sister's house in Illinois...
Grandpop and Grandmom celebrating all five
November and December Birthdays...
(two of my kids & three of my sisters)
the Day after Thanksgiving : )
We celebrate Thanksgiving,
five birthdays and Christmas...in three days!
Back home for...
Tilly's actual Birthday
Pumpkin Pie!
Apple Crumb for the rest of us...
Tillie's "friend" Birthday Party was a
The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe theme...
We had bows and arrows to shoot at the witch's wolves,
put the tail on the Beaver and a white witch's wand piniata...
she had @ 20 boys and girls at the house for the day!
This was a brownie cake with LOTS of Decoration...
everything but Mr Beaver and Aslan was edible...
The trees and Wardrobe were chocolate...
the snow was icing...
the water was piping gel...
I made a "mold" for casting
the wardrobe pieces out of craft foam...
we drew the light chocolate designs first, and then
poured the dark chocolate over top for an "inlaid" look.
This party was actually in Early November : )
(gratuitous cut baby photo)
Chewba Grabowski in Scooter's Beret...
what a face.
Snorkie and Santa in their Jammies!
