Easter Egg Cake
I had 16 hours warning (including sleep time and a 6 hour shift) that this cake was needed. Wanted something easter but....coconut!! Coconut grass on top and on iced board (and then forgot to ice said board), scatter jellybean eggs... and nice brown basketweave side (was so stressed it turned green on me) - and since the icing did not have to last I could use margarine instead of lard in the bc recipe. And disaster struck. Y'know what? You can't straight substitute margarine for lard. see forums.

Dolphin Cake
And it's finished - I had to resort to toothpicks to support the dolphins - next time I will have to make sure I have more time to let the color flow dry - but only found out about the birthday 5 days before. Used a picture of a dolphin leaping out of the sea to get the cake background.
