Before I got sick with the flu, we celebrated Bro's birthday. I made the Snowman cake and I was fairly happy with the results. If I had to do it all over again, I would add more of the sugar cubes. DH and Lulu agreed that he needed arms, which I did not add because I didn't really have a way to get them on once the snowman was iced. Plus, DH wanted me to make a 3-ball snowman; you notice that mine is only made of 2 balls (like the one that I was copying). Also, I don't know what happened, but the cake was a little lopsided.
Anyway, here he is.
"Happy Birthday to Bro."
Bro eats cake.
Here he is licking his plate. This clip is a bit staged because he stopped licking his plate right before we started filming.
All in all we had a great time. We offered lasagna for the meat eaters (store-bought but better than nothing). Our non-meat dishes included: hearty butternut squash and corn chowder, divine spinach salad, bountiful beer bread with ranch dip, and awesome artichoke spread with crackers. Thanks to everyone for the great veggie suggestions. Our nanny said that she does eat pizza, so we could have had pizza-for-1 (love it) but it just didn't turn out that way.
Is anyone else out there an amateur cake baker? I'd love to see your cakes.

Love the cake! You always do an amazing job! Happy Birthday Bro! I still have a little something for him. Need to stick it in the mail since I haven't been up the way recently.
Cute pics! I like the cake! How did you end up doing the hat?
The cake is gorgeous, well done! It looks like Bro had lots of fun :)
