I stacked the 2 12-inch squares and cut a quarter-circle out of each corner. Then I took 4 flat ice cream cones, put … Read more
My friend’s son was a huge Lord of the Rings fan, so she purchased a few figurines to put on top of this Lord of the Rings birthday cake. I made a 1/2 sheet cake and frosted it. Then I sprayed it with green food color to get a “hazy” kind of look. (Note about … Read more
