Twelve
The first step in celebrating Matt's birthday:
Make the green rectangle
When asked what kind of birthday cake he wanted, he replied, "Fondant!" (If I were on camera, I'd break the fourth wall and stare directly into it with an exasperated look on my face and roll my eyes ever so slightly).
I had to explain that fondant was a medium and not an actual style. He looked perplexed. Dangit, he's watched a multitude of episodes of Ace of Cakes; he has seen Duff, Geoff, Katherine, Sophia, etc. work with fondant to make shapes, sculptures and elements, not to mention to cover cakes.
Finally, I made him understand that I will use fondant to make a design of his choosing. But he didn't know what he wanted. He just knew he wanted it out of fondant. So I'm making a fall tableau.
But I've run out of fondant and I have to go to work. At least the canvas for the tableau is ready to go.
More pics later.

Jen, I totally should have.
Dad, a non-silent dash? So people are supposed to say "dash?" Crazy.
