Party time!

Hey guys and gals well Carter's party went great. He loved seeing all the family and playing with his cousin they have so much fun. His cake turned out pretty good besides the modeling chocolate headboard. It was my first time using it and apparently white chocolate has more fat content than white I used white to get the brown colour I wanted but not to brown. Lesson learned it was so greesy and literally oozing oil. In the end it was moldable but flimsy. I used a 12x2 circle pan for the base and cut a rectangle for the bed all covered in buttercream. The fondant for the blocks went a little crumbly and cracked but I just molded it around the rice krispies blocks and it worked out. I watered down the gel food colouring with Bacardi because it's all I had. Recommended is vodka it works better than water for consistency. All in all it worked pretty well my feet were killing me after being on them all day but it was worth it I finished it off with characters from toy story carter loved it. Now onto Halloween!
