Princess Olivia turns the big 01

And here is what I plan on making for her birthday:

Only it wont be that big because Pat-rice all ready got her a cake, and this one is a surpirise! Apparently Olivia likes Elmo, and while this is seriously the MOST ambitious cake I've attempted, I really want to try something over the top. It will be just 1 tier to cut down on size, and will not look nearly as nice as this...but I don't care. I think It will be FUN to try. Also, I really need to refine my fondant craft cause the last attempt needed some real improvement in the flavor department. This is particularly ambitious of me because the party is tomorrow at noon and I have a date with the homomies tonight to go out my last weekend before Lent! So the plan is to stay up super late, and get up super early, and not get too drunk*. I will need to convince Patty McDaddy to give me a ride to Micheal's or Hobby Lobby to get the Elmo pan and fondant. I have most of those colors, but will need to get the red, black, and orange for Elmo himself. I even already have the scribblers for the scibble detail so I only have a few things to pick up. Also, we usually take a minor break halfway through Friday evenings to hang out at Patty's until it's time to go out. I will use this lull to bake the round cake at the bottom...guess that also means he needs to take me to the store..Hey, it's not my fault we're doing HH in Highland Village today. Living two blocks away from the Galleria has it's perks! So, we shall see. I hope that it turns out okay, but with the limited time I'm putting into it, it will probably come out looking like a blood covered bear popping out to eat her. I dont think she'll like that, but not my problem, that ain't my baby.

*Okay, we all know the "too drunk" thing will NOT happen considering gay men drink like fish...soooooo I guess I will have to force myself into an early arisal tomo and PRAY that I'm still under the infuluence and not hungover yet. Waking up still drunk is a beautiful thing people, it's like a present from hangover god...a present that he quickly snatches away and replaces with a headache and nausea (he's such a figgin indian giver)..but a present none the less! It gives you just enough time to handle a little business before you wreck. I plan on using that twilight time to create this masterpiece!
