sprout was having a party and i needed a cake. bean had a caterpillar cake for her first birthday so i wanted something equally cool and three dimensional for sprout's first. i found it on the family fun magazine website- a dragon cake.
what is the theme going to be though..... OH! knights and dragons! sprout is the knight that slays the dragon (cake). awesome!! however this is not a party theme that you can find decorations and stuff to go with. i had to make a castle and shields out of paper to bring the theme to life.
but back to the cake... i baked. i cut. i frosted. i decorated. and i think it turned out pretty darn good! what do you think?
and here is another shot of the dragon sitting in front of that castle i created for sprout on our dining room wall. of course he had a castle, he is the knight that slayed the dragon (cake) after all!
of course i didn't put the scale texture on it. the directions tell you to use a marker lid to make impressions in the icing that look like scales..... i decided that a one year old wouldn't care about such things (and that i had done enough for one night!).
well, that was my crafty for this week. have you done anything crafty?? :)

i'm still mystified as to how sprout can be one already! aye!!
I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am. At the risk of revealing my age, "You go girl!" :)
That is Excellent! So impressive!! You're pretty talented there Momma...
Wow! that is one of the best lookin' cakes I have ever seen!
Carey!! You are too awesome. That cake is soooo stinkin' cool. And Sprout is the knight who slayed the dragon (cake) - hehe! Hmmm, I'm wondering if I can talk Nadia into a dragon themed birthday next time just so I have a reason to make that cake!
I LOVE that cake!!!!! I wonder if the Small Boy would like a Dragon this year?????? :-)
I can't believe you think you aren't crafty! Everything you post here on Crafty Tuesday is exceptional!
