I made this cake for our daughter's 2nd birthday. I've never taken on a big and elaborate cake. It's a lemon cake w/lemon buttercream frosting. The "leather" of the books is white fondant that I painted with gel food color mixed w/water to give it the mottled look. The worm is made from rice crispies treat, wrapped with colored fondant. The letters are also colored fondant. I definitely wish somethings turned out a bit better, but overall I'm happy. Most importantly, our DD loved it and yelled, "CAKE!" :-D
