Ladybug Cake

Michelle was having a difficult time trying to decide what kind of cake to make for Michael's birthday. I'm not sure what happened to the old fashion rectangle with frosting and candles but apparently that tradition has been forgotten. So Michelle was looking through her idea book and decided to ask Michael what kind of cake he wanted. She showed him big truck cakes, action figure cakes, etc., and the last cake in that section happened to be a lady bug cake. The decision was made...Lady Bug cake.

I have no idea where that idea came from. Michelle had me look through the pictures to try and guess which cake Michael had chosen and I wasn't even close. I thought the bulldozer cake with an Oreo dirt pile looked pretty tempting. About the only thing we can figure is that the lady bugs were red which is Michael's color (for personal identification of his household items).

In any case, Michelle went to work. I'm no cake expert but I think she created another masterpiece.

The evaluation standard that Michelle uses for her projects is the reaction of the people involved. Michael woke up this morning, took one look at his cake and was so excited that he first covered his mouth in awe (no picture but it would have been priceless), second told Michelle how wonderful his cake was and third, he hugged his cake. Michelle was more excited than Michael the rest of the day!
