Anna the Red’s bunnies

She made these for New Year (you know, year of the rabbit?), but with Spring here, I was reminded of these adorable bunnies. If you aren’t familiar with kamaboko, it’s a Japanese fishcake like this:

In a log like that, it’s perfect for Anna’s bunnies. And if you know how big Hello Kitty is in the Asian community, it won’t surprise you any that while I was looking for a picture of kamaboko, I also stumbled across several pictures of logs like this, too.

Say it with a Kiss – Hershey Kiss birthday cake

Hershey shaped cake with levels of Hershey kisses, with a bit Hershey kiss on top. What more could a girl ask for? Yay chocolate.

This one was for L’s birthday in ‘09 and you can see in the picture below there was lots of lovey dovey accents with heart plates, red/pink decorations, and even red kool-aid to match.

As per our usual tradition of not being allowed to see the cake until the moment the party is ready to light the candles and blow them out, here’s L waiting anxiously:

Does that not look anxious enough? How about this one then?

Yeah, excitement does funny things to one’s face, hehe.
