My girl, who is two...requested a chicken cake!?!?!? (we do farm poultry..so it kind of made sense) We live in a 150 year old house with no air conditioning... LOL! I was kind of proud... It certainly made an impression on My daughter--a year later and she still talks about the chicken! :) I've learned a few things since this cake! (Like how to make icing!--who knew can icing isn't good for decorating!! LOL)
