Shaolin Monk vs. Robot

This year, the boy requested a Shaolin Monk on his birthday cake (he's obsessed with all things Chinese).

And a robot saying "beep".

 

Shaolin Monk vs Robot cake

 

Lovely cake, dstroy! I love making and baking cakes. Is that a mocha frosting or chocolate? How did you get the frosting smooth and even on top?

Your son sure does look pleased!

Sadly, I must admit to cheating big-time on this one!

I got a sheet cake with plain chocolate frosting from costco this year and decorated it from there - we had 43 party-goers to feed this year! (We had thought that an afterschool-pizza-party would be less popular since it was middle of the week, but evidently folks were thrilled to have their weekends left alone so EVERYONE came!)

 

I almost didn't post, since I didn't even bake this, but you know, it's the blogs, and well, I always post the kids' cakes so... 

Well, the whole thing looks professional. I would have believed you if u had said the monk and robot were also done by costco. Very steady hands. Difficult when doing such intricate design. Good job!
