Wildlife birthday cake :)

Here are some picture of my Little Brother's Birthday cake.

Here's the bird's eye veiw. The animals are all plastic. It would have been cool to try sculpting them out of fondant, But I've never tried it and that would have taken a long time i think. I used Icing tip 233 for the grass (Wilton)

Here is the mountain. I made a much smaller cake and cut some pieces off of it, Put the cake on top, and arranged the pieces to look like rocks. Then out the icing on. The Cougar is Stalking the Deer. (it might be a young elk, we can't tell.)

the Wolf is thinking about going after that elk (at least that's what we think it is LOL )

And here is Mr. Beaver, Working on his Beaver dam, Made of pretzels.

Here is the River

The Mountain.

The bear has a fish in his mouth, but you cant really tell in the pictures because it's a green fish.

The goats. actually i think the brown one is a big horned sheep or something

the whole cake, almost bird's eye view.

Mr. Moose is feeling a bit peckish. he's looking for food in the river.

and the bear :)

Dolls

Well, I found this Cute little idea on pinterest, Mermaid dolls. That picture lead me to this tutorial of how to make 'Bendy Dolls' Here http://theenchantedtree.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-bendy-dolls-and-tutorial.html
I make mine a little differently than the tutorial says. I bout my supplies before I saw that there was a tutorial, so I bout wooden balls instead of wooden beads, and I hotglue that head and hair on. The result is a little messier, but it's still cute :) :)

This one is one i made for my little sister. Its looks like her when she makes a funy face that we call her "Gnomey Face." so I made her a doll, that looked like her Gnomey face. And she wanted me to make it a mushroom dress. So here is Gnomey, Dressed in her Magical Mushroom dress, as camouflage for when she goes to the Magical Mushroom Forest. (i made the mushroom snail too, a long time ago)

and here are two mermaids i made. The one on the Left (Green tail, pinkish red hair) Is supposed to be Ariel from the little mermaid. My Neice Absolutely LOVES mermaids, (Especially Ariel) So i thought she would like these for her birthday which is coming up in Feb. The one on the Right is supposed to be her as a mermaid.
