Squirrelly boy
The cake:
The boy and the cake
The boy when I made him laugh
He is now twelve.
Matt decorated most of the cake. I did the squirrel, but he colored the rest of the fondant and cut out the leaves with little cookie cutters that we happened to have on hand (!).
And yes, Matt likes squirrels, which is why there is one on his cake. (He does NOT like seeing dead squirrels on the side of the road, or stuffed squirrels in the guest bedroom at his Uncle Mike's house)

Comments
That cake is perfect for Matt. I do recall Matt's fascination for squirrels and how he'd point them out at the zoo rather than be impressed by the exotic, foreign animals. Silly kid! I didn't realize it upset him so much to see the stuffed squirrel in the guest room (which by the way was not my idea or actually went against my wishes).
Personally, I have nothing against seeing dead squirrels anymore after I've seen all the damage they've done over the years to my gardens, landscaping, attic, and vinyl siding (yes, you read that correctly...those stupid rats have been sneaking up to live in our attic).
