And then there was cake...

So Jess's cake didn't turn out nearly as cool as I'd hope but he was thrilled with it (good husband!)... The squig was impossible to shrink (with my skills). I haven't figure out a good medium for sculpting yet. Fondant is too soft. Modeling chocolate is too sticky. The x-wing presented similar problems. SO... the computer chips multiplied and became the side decorations. After spending hours trying to get the darn x-wing to work I finally gave up at 11:30 last night. I went to McD's for Jess's birthday lunch and got an x-wing in the happy meal!

As promised here are the photos

The desktop with a dos prompt (but the backslashes are backwards... ooops... but my wonderful hubby didn't point it out)


Here's the finished cake...
