Libby Lou's Nemo Cake

We call Elizabeth Libby Lou quite often. I think Cici's mom is the one that started it, and it kind of stuck. Anyway, she turned 2 the last week in March, and Greg and Cici had a little get-together for her next door.

I had called them mid-March and offered to make a cake for her birthday. Any chance to make a cake and be creative - I love it. So they said they'd like for me to do her cake. I called Mama and told her, and we talked about how it'd be fun to do something girly (since we're used to doing Bennett's 'boy' stuff). Mama was thinking pink and purple and frilly things.

Well, I talked to Cici a little bit later and she said they were thinking Nemo since Elizabeth really enjoys that movie. Hmmm.... not exactly girly. Not totally boyish either, but blues and oranges instead of pinks and purples.

Of course I had no problem with that, but I was determined to make it as girly as I could. So I got online and found a few cakes that gave me good ideas. One in particular was really great and to me, pretty girly. I did a lot of copying this time. My mind is about gone. Remember this and this? Yeah. I'm done with thinking until May. So I got busy pretty much re-creating this one cake I found online. It does make me feel better that this woman admits to copying a couple other cakes she found online too.

So without further ado, here is the final product:


Greg got some nice shots of the birthday party (and some better shots of the cake), but I don't have any of them yet. Maybe I'll update this later on with some of the pictures.
