What's the word? Angry Bird!

When my little boy was about to turn six, he wanted me to make him a special birthday cake. Every time we spoke about it, he changed his mind about it's appearance. When we had reached around seven different types of cakes I had to step in and make the decision for him... Angry Birds! And no, not the women that get angry when you try to pick them up at the local watering hole, we're talking about the world phenomena game developed by Rovio Entertainment Ltd.

Ok, I admit that I went a little overboard on this one. I stopped at Two pig-cakes and around twenty chocolate balls draped with Angry Bird and Pig suits of marzipan.

So Rovio, when it's time for your anniversary, give me a call. Ok?

Bake my day!

When I can't find the time to illustrate and paint I have to come up with other ways to channel my creativity. One thing that I found suprisingly fun was making birthday cakes for my kids. It's not only appealing for your gums and sweet-tooth, it can be a joy for the eyes as well.
I'm not a professional baker in any way, all is done at home in my kitchen, but if you're not all thumbs when it comes to the edible "arts" you can do it. Just allow yourself to have fun and plan ahead, because it takes a lot of time, at least for me. That's why I only do it a couple of times every year.
