Curious George Cake

When the weather finally warms up kids of all ages want to get outside
and play in the water. In central Alabama a May birthday party is a
perfect excuse to do just that.

When Melissa emailed me to request a Curious George birthday cake for
her daughter and son's birthday party at the local splash pad she had
only one requirement. I had to include the colors, red, blue and
yellow. With so few instructions took me a while to come up with a
design idea.

I knew I didn't want the cake to be a standard two tier. I really
wanted a "wow" factor. When the design concept finally came to me I
was more than a little worried I wouldn't be able to pull it off. Not
wanting to make promises I couldn't keep I asked Melissa if she was
willing to let the cake design be a surprise. She graciously agreed.
