Originally it was suppose to be a Justin Beiber slab cake but the cake topper my customer ordered off Ebay did not arrive in time. I suggested changing the design of the cake and after looking at the various cakes I had made she gave be complete control over the design and look of the cake. <br />
<br />
I wanted the cake to be fun and funky so of course I had to go with a topsy turvy cake.<br />

Sounds like a weird request right? Well her son had 2 tarantulas and loves them. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate spiders. It was actually quite humorous that I spent most the day staring at spiders in an effort to get this to be as realistic as possible. <br />
<br />
As it turns out my kids LOVE love love the cake and were very sad to hear that it was for a customer and they would not be able to eat it. Both my 5 year old son and my 3 year old daughter are now begging me to make them a tarantula cake. ROFL<br />

A marine biologist. So how fitting is it that he choose a pool party and a shark cake for his birthday. And not just any shark cake, he tells me it has to be jumping out of the water with his mouth open and have a person inside his mouth. <br />

The cake:<br />

I love tulips, daffodils, lilies, and hydrangeas. I love when all the snow melts, when the grass turns green and the flowers start to open. I love listening to the birds chirp and the warmer days. Spring is my favorite season of the year. Today is a gorgeous spring day and to celebrate I am sharing my Garden Fairy cake with all of you.<br />
