-and ladybug I suppose. I hear that was added because my mother always refers to me as her bug.
Anyways I was talking about birthdays and it reminded me that I've been meaning to share these "snake cake" photos with Fauna.
Mine was last Sunday, I turned eighteen (getting ooooold right?
) and my mother's coworker was so sweet - she took it upon herself to make me an amazing cake! It was all done from her imagination alone, my mother had only described my gophers to her briefly one time, but I think it came out beautifully! I was absolutely thrilled with it!
and here's the girls that it was based on. Carmen is the albino pacific and Misty is the ghost sonoran. Such quirky things, I love them so~
Tragically their frosting counterparts were both gobbled up without mercy. Cake-Carmen's head popped right off!
From the way that they were rattling at me later, I feel that my real pets don't take kindly to this sort of display. They had a bit of a "watch your back" aura that night, I wouldn't be surprised if I find them devouring an effigy of me someday in return...
