Okay, this is the WALL-E cake I made for Ben's birthday:
I'm not posting it to brag, because as far as cake makery goes, it's... let's say "homey." I'm posting it as a testament to the awesomeness of the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. They should re-title it "This Book Can Teach You to Draw No Matter How Great Your Lack of Skill or Talent." I couldn't draw for BEANS, but now I can look at a photo of WALL-E and sketch him in toothpick onto a cake.
Seriously, you need to check out the Before and After gallery. No time for link clicking? Here's a sample:
Okay, here's the part I WILL brag about. Ben requested a lemon cake, but I was short on time so I stole elements from a few recipes and added a few twists of my own and HOLY CROW it was good. Best Lemon Cake Filling EVAH: Buy a jar of lemon curd. Whip 1/2 C whipping cream. Beat the curd till smooth and fold together with the cream. DREAMY!! Slap that between a couple layers of lemon cake mix cake and top with a lemony buttercream. Life will be good.
