Father’s Day Car Cake
My dad likes racing cars. He spends a lot of weekends zipping around a track with my sister, competing for medals and times.
He also really likes sprinkles.
Not that I would know anything about that.
So for Father’s Day, when my mom and sister wanted to get my dad a cake, I jumped on the chance. Even though I’m normally a pie girl, I was going to give my dad a cake even he would love.
He seemed intrigued.
Delighted, maybe.
He was thrilled.
Nothing makes me happier than watching my dad enjoy a cake loaded with 2 huge cans of cream cheese icing and a container of sprinkles.
Because sugar and sprinkles means he’ll have more energy for racing.
Which makes for a happy daddy.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a new Butterfly Dress tomorrow! Stay tuned!

It’s been a while since I’ve been by…..just been too busy to blog.
I have a lot to catch up on….never got to finish reading Twirl and Penelope’s Pie Shop.
As I was reading this post, I was thinking “a cake?”….”I thought it was pies” LOL
Anyway, the cake turned out great.
Have a beautiful day….

BTW…I did a lot of fashion sketching when I was, like 9, but haven’t since. I’m not the best artist.

Your dad’s serious face in pictures always cracks me up!
June 23rd, 2011 at 7:47 am

I hope also the cars are eatable (maybe they are made of sugar?) in that delicious cake!

The best gift for father day. I am sure he was thrilled to have such a wonderful and delicious cake made by his daughter.

I’ve done birthday cakes like that. Because the boys big and little appreciate roads and cars on their cakes. And sprinkles.

Your father has a blog following, what a hoot.
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:45 am
Hahaha!! Your dad is awesome. I love the deadpan expression on his face while he holds his adorable Father’s Day cake.
That is priceless!
And omg that cake looks YUMMY.
PS. I tried to comment on your blog a little while ago (few days ago??) and it wouldn’t let me. It was obviously my computer because everyone else was able to leave a comment! Haha! But yes, I wanted to let you know I did get my prize in the mail and I love it! Everything is so cute. Thank you! xoxo

You are so sweet to your dad!!!
Awesome.
BTW, cluster feeding just means that my little baby feeds a LOT in the evening. During the day she eats every 3 hours, and in the evening, she nurses and/or has a bottle 4 times in 3 hours.

Gotta love a dad who (may or may not) loves sprinkles! Looks like the perfect father’s day cake to me!
June 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Your dad cracks me up! It’s like you have a cut-out of him for every photo because his expression never changes! ;D
Hey, thanks for the offer to critique…I have a critique grp already, so I think I’m ok. But, I’d be happy to look your story over when you’re ready!

I love that the cake had two tubs of icing on it. The real way cake should be frosted!
