Cake


Each team was asked to bring a cake to the Lego Exhibition, so we set out to make the Zoo Stormers' cake. Since they had built a Komodo Dragon, Lukas thought a Komodo Dragon cake would be appropriate. Thanks to Goggle, we quickly had more suggestions and alternatives to choose from than we ever anticipated. Dragon cakes are very popular and come in many shapes, colors and postures.
Mamma was entrusted to bake the cake, whereas the cutting, assembling and decorating was handled by the guys. The Komodo Dragon posture was driven by the size of our cake stand - so it is turning its green head laying more in an S shape than straight. Lukas and Noah had fun adding jelly bean teeth, gel scales and sparkly green sprinkles all courtesy of a very generous Grammy who sends us left over cake decorating materials.
The final touch came with the left over edible Easter Grass - just what the Komodo Dragon needed.
It was a bit messy, but sure fun to make this cake and the boys were so proud of their cake, and it was truly theirs.
