Frosted with Love, But Not Much Skill

January 10, 2010

The boys are still chuffed about the Wii they got for Hanukkah, and decided that the best birthday present they could give J. this year was another game (that they could play too, of course) — Wii Sports Resort. J. and I stayed up doing the archery module while the kids were asleep last night! It seemed natural that they wanted to make J.’s cake in the shape of a Wii controller.

I baked brownies in a 9×13 pan, and then cut them in half the long way to make two strips that I stacked to make the shape of the controller. Some vanilla frosting roughly covered the whole thing, and I did my best to draw on the details with blue gel icing. Thankfully, G. added his touch to the cake by covering everything I’d done with sprinkles. It wound up being the most attractive part of the decoration.

It might have looked a mess, but there were no complaints when we ate it!
