March to April

You've heard the saying that was my inspiration for this pair of cakes.....

March comes in like a Lion....and goes out like a Lamb.

The Friendly Lion pan from Wilton created the shape and a #16 star tip did the body (stars), mane and tail (pull out stars). It's hard to see (should have tinted frosting a little darker) but he's got a goatee and a little tuft of hair between the ears.  I wanted to use the Wilton Chocolate frosting  but only had the brownie frosting on hand so I blended it with a basic buttercream and the results were very tasty over the vanilla cake.

 

I made the rectangular cake out of chocolate with plain white buttercream frosting.  As first I was going to make a meadow of green for the lambs but it didn't seem right to cover it all in green once I started.  One lamb looked lonely so I made 3 since I've got three little lambs of my own.

Happy Veteran's Day

This cake wasn't specifically requested for Veteran's Day, but I thought it appropriate for thanking my family members and the rest of the armed forces. Your service is invaluable to this nation.
God Bless You All!
