I made a cake in a 9x13 pan, but decided to cut out a petite little ghost, since there would only be 5 adults at our little lunch party. Happily, the ghost looked...like a ghost, even after being carved out of a sheet of cake. I frosted the cake and soaked the sugar cubes in almond extract (36% alcohol, for their fiery debut), because who has lemon extract anyway?
Unfortunately, I failed to consider the issue of the eyes. Seeing as there is no way to get a half-sized eggshell, Georgie the Ghost Cake was forced to herald in Danielle’s 25th birthday while sporting eggshell goggles. The other unfortunate was that the sugar cubes refused to take flame, and had to be replaced by candles. And the last unfortunate was that Sage blew out the candles before Danielle even drew a good breath. I guess some memories are not to be relived. And if anyone needs an extra sugar cube or two, I've got 249 extras.

I am laughing my head off in that picture, because it's the first time someone has ever blown out my birthday candles FOR me! That was the cutest cake ever, and I think I know the real reason for the eggshell goggles (all you have to do is take one look at a picture of my first pair of glasses to see that it was a flash from the past in more than one way).
I must admit I also was jealous about Danielle's cake back in the day. I probably had another 3-tiered cake that Grandma helped me decorate, which I'm sure I was excited about...until I saw Danielle's Gorgie and his flaming eggshell eyes. Oh good times of fun.
(wow, that was a really lame comment--sawee Janage!)
Now those are some unstoppable eyes! Nice work Janel! --Mom
