Today is my baby sister Sarah's 25th birthday - happy birthday, sista'!
I always make Sarah a birthday cake (and then send her pictures while we enjoy her cake over here!). This year she said she wanted a hamster-shaped cake. Not being a cake decorating genius, 2 questions immediately came to my mind: (1) how in the world do you make a hamster-shaped cake? and (2) who in the world would want a hamster-shaped cake, anyway? The answer to the second was obvious...my somewhat strange little sister. =) And the answer to the second? Well, after resorting to a Google image search, I came up with this. It is almost as random as the original request...
Yeah, I still haven't figured out the frosting thing...it doesn't seem to matter what I do, it always comes out soft. Then you put it in my overly warm apartment, and the frosting starts sliding off the side. Romanian powdered sugar has a different consistency, so it tastes okay, but isn't quite the same as a can of Duncan Hines!
The girls here thought we should have ham(ster)burgers, too, to make the meal complete. Don't you wish you were here, Sarah, so you could celebrate your birthday, too? Actually, Sarah celebrated her birthday by purchasing her plane tickets to come visit me at the end of March; maybe I'll make her another cake then (probably not shaped like a hamster's rear end, though).
