LOLOLOL!

my god, does she hate the child or what? i'm sorry dearest, but this made me laugh so hard i thought my eyes would fall out. it looks like a cross between sandcastles and sick!
how did they eat it with a straight face?
having said that, i so applaud her efforts in constructing anything cake-like because i am the most hopeless cake baker type person who has walked the earth.
i once made a sponge which came out green. and 4 days ago, i accidentally poisoned myself by eating a pancake (home made from a packet...) wherein one of the eggs was a bit dodgy.
altho that doesn't top the time i put myself in the emergency ward overnight from food poisoning after cooking a pork chop, but hmmmm. that's another story.

did you eat any of the cake??

i just realised - miss mermaid in the foreground doesnt have a face but she DOES have a bra.

how did she come to not have a face?

crikey.

She has too got a face - wee dots for eyes and a little line for a mouf!
Um no, I didn't eat any, I would have though. It was rocky road icecream covered with sweet bicky crumbs so it looked like a sand castle (though I can see what you mean about sick, now that you've pointed it out).
Perhaps you have to be 6 to fully appreciate such a wonder.
The bra, by the way, was made with real shells, holes made by the daddy, he only broke 6 trying to drill the little holes in.

Caw - I can see where you are coming from, but I agree with DMM that you have to be six to appreciate it.I always remember one from when I was a kid, my mum made me one that looked like a carousel, with thin barley sugar twists and a candy stripe top in sherbet.

Mind you she could bake for England, so they where always good cakes in our house. ;o)

I LOVE THIS!! LOL. It does look like sand. And yes, the mermaid does have a face when you look at it up close. A very round face, but a face. For a six year old, it must have been like magic. Well, it's like magic for me too because I have never baked in my life.

dearest mouse, ah yes yes quite right - if one were 6 this would be the most best thing ever. i take back what i said about missy not having a face - i can see it if i blow the piccie up a little (one of the hazards of being half blind is that small details are a bit difficult to make out). also, i the chocs around the edge are guylian sea shells - so extra points there :)
for the uninitiated, the seashells live here:

And I'll confess here & now on the intertubes that when I was 20 I asked my mum for a hedgehog cake and a snake cake and I got them both! I'll have to dig the pic out from somewhere - I do recall I wore my zucchinis in bikinis shirt for the occasion.

It's very creative.

But kinda disgusting...
