Here's me with the cake so you can understand the size! Cake details: because I was working this week, I totally just used boxed yellow mix and premade chocolate frosting. I know that's cheating but I honestly just didn't have the time! Also, Birdie, Marc and my mom had to actually bake the cakes while I was shooting. It took 4 whole cake mixes but I did have a bunch of scraps left over. I followed Ann Reardon's tutorial on You Tube and bought her templates on Howtocookthat.net which worked really well, although I did have to improvise a bit, it's not exactly as she did it. Birdie and I both found her voice to be super soothing though, FYI. The bubble guppies and George are all plastic figurines because while I originally was planning to sculpt them, I had to compromise for time/sanity! Plus, Cricket will be happy to play with them after the cake is eaten!! I used a combo of Wilton and Duff fondant.(Cc: @howtocookthat)
