I love your frog cake and I'm just in awe of you for doing it! I'm so bad at baking that I have to put toothpicks into my layer cakes to keep the top from sliding off! I just tell DH that we don't need to eat lots of cake, so I never get any practice, but you and I both know that is just a flimsy excuse for a really sorry job.

That is so cool. I can't wait to show it to my DGD tomorrow. She'll want one just like it. She likes things like that. Great job.

It's a challenge for him because I'm so darn finicky, he has to keep from getting bored of what we eat, all the while making food that I will actually eat.

Wow! Is it edible?

My idea of overdoing it was getting a 9x13 box cake frosted with homemade frosting. (I don't like the stuff in the containers) (And my kids were doggone happy to get them, too!)

Yes, the whole thing is edible. I put toothpicks in the legs to keep them pinned on when I put the buttercream icing on (under layer, you don't see it here) but I took them out once the cake had chilled and the icing acted like a glue.

I can't wait to start the lambroghini cake, I will take step by step pictures next time :)
