May Starts with a Dragon Cake

I baked two cakes this week. My father's at the beginning of the week, and my daughter's at the end of the week. My father's was a fairly simple round cake, but Sierra wanted a dragon cake, and being me, I needed to do something more interesting than the last dragon cake I made. So I thought about a better way to make wings. I thought about a hoarde for it to curl around. And as I cut out cookie dough to accommodate my grand schemes, I thought about making cookie talons and teeth as well. As I bent over the counter making tiny triangle claws, I suddenly realized where Marina gets her obsessive attention to detail. At least we can work our compulsions to our advantage!


Now I get about a week to recover (and buy more supplies) before the next cake.

Chocolate buttermilk cake with whipped cream frosting. I don't think I whipped the cream long enough though, it didn't hold up as well as usual. Oh well. I get at least two more chances to do it right. :o)

What a fantastic cake! I'm glad you had the link to your first dragon cake, which was also fantastic. Just wish I had gotten to taste Sierra's cake. The LO cookie wings - which I know were enough work in themselves - were delish! You bring your art to your baking. Love, Mom

It was superb bake manufacturing to kick off your children's birthdays. The outstanding flavor will last me till next year. Sierra looked like she was in paradise. God Bless her and you all. Love, Dad, Buelo
