Ok so I get a call this week asking for an armadillo cake on thursday. I said yes and then thought oh... can I do that? I looked around and couldn't find a whole lot. Thanks to those of you who helped with suggestions! The link to the article I had seen before and the one somone posted didn't work anymore, so I pretty much winged it. i was up till about 3:00 this morning, but it's done. I delivered it today and they loved it! The best thing about this cake is that my 2yr old didn't want anything to do with it! I didn't have to worry about little fingers in the frosting.

Your armadillo is awesome! I would be totally psyched about it too! Can you give us a quick run down of how you made this cake? Thanks!

Thank you all so much! Yep... It's red velvet. Gross! At about midnight last night I was thinking "what did I get myself into?" Then I was thinking how bad it looked, but I kept working and I'm pretty proud of it. It seems like I go through that with all my cakes. I have a "this is going to look like crap" moment, but it usually turns out ok if I keep working. I'm trying to write out some instructions that make sense. I'll try to post them later.
Thank you all again for making me feel so great! icon_biggrin.gif
