Frosty Toss

This is what I did today... well, for about 4 hours of today. I made this "Frosty Toss" game for the Christmas party in Sophie's class. The kids will be throwing marshmallows through the holes in Frosty. Although a little time consuming, this really wasn't all that difficult. You just need cardboard, posterboard, spray adhesive and a little glitter paint. You can't see it from this photo, but Frosty and his button holes are outlined in silver glitter paint. The tree, bush, scarf and hat also have glitter paint on them.


This pic is just to show you how big it is!

Cake #6- The Pink Guitar


Ok. This is the cake Sophie chose for her birthday. She got a pink guitar for her birthday (a little early) and wanted a cake that looked like it. This cake, of course, looks way cooler than her pink garage sale guitar!!! This cake was much easier to decorate, probably because it had less colors to mix up than the Lightning cake. Also, the icing was easier to work with because I didn't have to use a whole bottle of red coloring this time!!! I was really glad that I chose to do the part with the silver sprinkles first, because I got them everywhere. There are a lot of silver sprinkles under all that icing. The part I worried about the most was the guitar strings because I didn't think I could get them all straight and consistent. There are a few breaks, but overall, I think they turned out well. Sophie was very happy with the cake, so I'm happy too!!!
