So instead of trying to fashion the hand and shoe out of styrofoam (which was a royal pain in my arse the first time around) I made them out of clay! Much nicer looking! I was working on this cake until 11:30 pm last night and just as I was getting ready to text my neighbor to see if she was still awake she texted me! I immediately grabbed the cake and ran next door to show it to her - she was thrilled! So I start asking her about where the party was going to be and she tells me Randall Oaks...... wait a minute....... do you mean to tell me it's going to be outside? It's supposed to be freaking 95+ outside! Oh no, oh no , oh no. My pops do not hold up so well in hot weather - they have a tendency to melt into a puddle of chocolate and stick! Oh no, oh no, oh no. Now what do I do? GOT IT! I have treat bags that I will wrap each one into and they can go in a cooler! So back home I trudge at midnight and of course I don't wrap them that night, that would have made too much sense! I wait until I wake up at 10:45 am this morning to do this! So my neighbor comes over with one of those little cooler lunch bags and we bag up some ice and pack the pops in there and off we go to the birthday party! The mother was happy, the guest were happy! The birthday girl seemed to like the cake but she was only 1!! SUCCESS!!! I'm not sure what I love more - making the cake and pops or seeing the people's faces and how much they like the cake and pops! :)
Here are some pictures of the clubhouse cake!
