I made a cake back in the late 90′s with a photo of the Taj Mahal on the top. It was a beautiful cake, and I think it was saved (ie. not eaten), because who really wants to eat a part of the Taj Mahal? In general, it’s not really the style of cakes I enjoy making or decorating*. I find this trend in cakes a little cheesy. Here’s an example – look you can put the Mona Lisa on a cake!

So just today I came across the fact that you can now order M&M’s with your face on them (or anyone’s face, really). They’re suggesting your kid’s face, to use as birthday favors, etc. But you could also think up some more sinister ways to use these too, yes? It’s still a little weird to think about eating a handful of M&Ms with your kid’s face on them.

She’s convinced she IS Princess Jasmine.  Also in the photos are nephews Skyler and Colin,  Jasmine’s friends Grace and Riley, and the strawberry cloud cream filled and frosted cake I made (and of course, "the baby" who never fails to freak us out as we see it in the lawn).

I just posted some photos from Skyler’s 5th Birthday party yesterday (his actual birthday isn’t until the 5th, but we celebrated yesterday). I took a bunch of photos, but narrowed it down to about 50.

I also made a super space ice cream cake, which you can see here in this photo.

As Jasmine would say, “No *My* Little Pony.”
