My son turned 4 on Saturday. He ordered up a “Giraffe Cake”. I asked if it would be ok to make giraffes to put on the cake instead of a big cake that looked like a giraffe and he said, “Yes, and monkeys, and hippos, and tortoises ’cause those are my favorites.” So I wentContinue reading “Zoo Cake”

Power Tools
