Since the last time I was on here, my sister celebrated her birthday. I surprised her with a "cake". Let me back up. A month or so ago we had gone to Disney World for a couple of days. While we were there, my sister saw these giant rice-krispie "cakes" in the shape of Mickey and Minnie and mentioned that she wanted one of those for her birthday. Since she isn't a big cake person, I decided that I would dust off my artistic skills and try to replicate one for her. Now mind you, I had no mold or anything... I was just going off of a picture. I think it turned out pretty well:
Original that we had seen:
The one I made (from a different angle as the original):
It's obviously not exact (nor is it as big... I didn't need it to feed 50 people).... but I got as close as I could by molding it by hand.
As I mentioned, I've also been traveling a bit. Last weekend my mom and I came down to Florida to see my dad (he's doing the whole commuting for work thing). I happen to still be in Florida. There is a good reason for that. You see... Yesterday, I went to Disney's Character Look-A-Like auditions. You never know what they are casting for (nor do they ever tell you), so I figured I would go just for the fun of it. I never want to look back and think "gosh I wish I had gone and done that"... so I went for it. It was fun and a little bit interesting. Basically they line you up and stare at you. Ha ha. Yeah... A little awkward.
Not sure when I'll head home yet. I have a dog that I'm missing and a test due next week. That's the good thing about online classes-- you get the freedom to do this kind of thing. But yeah... I figured instead of letting this collect dust, I let you all know what I've been up to. I hope you all have had a fabulous week and enjoy your weekend!
