The not so itsy bitty spider

A lady I worked with asked me to make a tarantula cake for her son's 19th birthday. 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.

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

Shark theme birthday party

What does my son say he wants to be when he grows up? 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.

The cake:

 Shark massacre (red velvet cake)
