As if that wasn't cute enough, she made a NEST for the owl. She made a nest out of pretzel rods! Now the only thing cuter than the stinking owl cake with a pretzel rod nest is her son standing NEXT to his owl cake!!See for yourself:
So she gets total mom props for making her son an owl cake in the first place. But when she said it was okay for me to post it I asked her what cake pans she used so I could post those too. Her response:
I used a stainless steel bowl from the cupboard for the body and then stacked them up on each other. I had to cook them for an hour to make sure the center was done. I used a bread pan for the head and cut it into a kidney bean shape.
Jennifer...I LOVE YOU! You are brilliant!
Here are a couple of pictures of the cake in process!
I am now trying to figure out which one of my family members I can talk into loving owls before their birthday. Do you think I can fit owls into Valentine's Day somehow. Maybe make a big old owl cake for everyone with a card that says guess Whoooo Whoooo loves you? Or loving you is a Hoot! Do you think they will go for it?
That is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally in awe of this cake. My husband absolutely LOVES owls. Last year I even took him to a raptor conservatory for some upclose time with owls. I really need to make this cake for him but I've never done anything like that. Maybe I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteLiz! You should! If you have any questions I would be happy to ask Jennifer for you.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! I'm very impressed and her son is also too cute for words.
ReplyDeletewhat totally impresses me is that isn't sitting up. I mean anyone can do a laying down owl, right? but all upright? that's crazy cool!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this cake, my Mom is an Owl fanatic so I will be making this for her b-day :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is ADORABLE!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna know when I'm gonna get my "creative mommy" gene!!! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute. It came out beautifully!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother collects owls and she would love this! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have the most creative friends! This owl cake is great, but I'm trying to figure out when to bust one out! Halloween? Maybe after a trip to the zoo? Hmmm, maybe a nature theme birthday? I don't know.
ReplyDeleteps. I love your blog.
An incredible edible creation! That said, I'm glad my kids don't make me make themed cakes anymore. ;)
ReplyDeleteokay that is awesome! i LOVE owls and am so impressed with your friends skill. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei love it, that is how they baked shaped cakes in the "old dayz". I would have had an owl layed down and not 3 dimentional.
ReplyDeleteway way way way cute!
ReplyDeleteHi! I am new here! I totally love this cake. I named my daughter after my great-grandmother who was a total owl fanatic... I think this will make an excellent 2nd birthday cake... I just have to wait until next November :(
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the cutest cakes I have ever seen!!! I'm thinkin' I might have to do "Owl Always Love You" for Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!
Kara! That is BRILLIANT!! Owl Always Love You!!
ReplyDeleteI think "Loving you is a hoot" is genious!!!
ReplyDeleteDidn't she do great?!
