Oct 18 2009You People Are So Skilled!: Geekologie Reader Makes Piranha Plant B-Day Cake
Young Geekologie Reader Chris helped design and build a Super Mario Piranha Plant birthday cake for his younger brother's 10th birthday. I call the head!
My mom, her name is Kathrine if you care to know, has always been big into making splendiferous cakes for me and my brother on our birthdays. This year for my brother's 10th, she went all out and learned how to use fondant and whatnot and we made him a Piranha Plant cake. I had to help out, as she had little knowledge of the reference material, and me, her and my grandmother put it together for him. He was so happy he didn't even notice his presents.
I've been a longtime reader, as has been my mother (she got me started reading) and it would be awesome to see you put this up, or even to just have you tell me what you think.
Did you just read that? It said Chris's mother got him started reading Geekologie. Is that not the most beautiful thing ever? It is. And if you even think about calling child services and costing me a reader I WILL MURDER YOU. Happy Sunday! Seriously, I will murder you.
Hit the jump for one more shot of the birthday boy and cake and a link to the Flickr gallery with some build shots.
Thanks to Chris, who, roll the dough mark it with B, and throw it in the oven for baby and me!

The head was a giant rice krispy treat. Mom ate the whole thing herself.

Apparently the kid's on his way to word wizardry as well. GW, you must steer him in the right path as the force is strong with his one.

The head's rice krispys and marshmallow fluff, covered with fondant? That's a great idea, I could do that. That takes the cake.
What's your mom (hi mom!) planning for next year's birthday?
17. Snuffygirl - October 18, 2009 4:33 PM
Wow. Just wow. Way to go, mom!

That's a kick ass cake.
It kind of ruins it though, knowing that people only make stuff like this because they know they'll get it posted on here.

Awesome, seriously... AWESOME

Very well done. I know professionals like to post pics about their skillz but looks like you and your mom did very well on your own. Congrads, now make me a Zelda cake. With REAL Zeldas!!

The older brother said "splendiferous" and "I've been a longtime reader, as has been my mother..." and he makes awesome cakes. I wonder if they're going to have to drag him out of the closet or if he'll burst out dressed as Princess Peach.

I couldnt bring myself to eat it.....
