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.

God Loves YOU! ALOT!

And when you are reminded of that in cake,
what more could you need? ;D

January

We don't usually get too cold here in Florida,
but in recent weeks we've had temps in the 20's and teens.
We got winter without the snow so I decided
to make some of my own to celebrate January.
