A Very Lurkyloo Christmas is FINISHED! New 3/16: Last Day of the Trip!

[annnewjerz]

Today's fell in my lap (not literally ) when my coworker had a birthday. It was some kind of chocolate mousse confection, and not half bad...

Looks very similar to the Cheesecake Factory's Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake. I've never had it since I am a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cheesecake gal through and through, but it does look yummy!

Yay!!! Already 5 pages - that's impressive!

I *never* read PTRs...but I make exceptions when it comes to Lurkyloo and Shopaholic.

Of course this thread is completely dangerous for my cake obsession! Oh well...I am gonna dive right in. Here's my cake contribution for the day. We just held my DD's 6th Birthday with a Garden Tea Party theme and this was her cake:

Note - this next picture was *after* the girls had made themselves up - LOL!

Lurkyloo, as I recall you aren't a fan of fondant, so I am guessing I am not making your mouth water with this cake. But check out these little tea pot cookies - yummy!!!

So who is next? Let's keep this yummy thread going!!!

Oh, and BTW - Did I miss the back story on the three resorts in one trip decision? Was this intentional or are you still deciding? All great choices, *especially* BLT!!!

Well you know the real reason is that you and I are the same person, and we just fool everyone into thinking there are two of us. We had a close call on your wedding day when we almost had to be in the same place at the same time - thank goodness our cover remains intact!

ooooo it's so Superman and Clark Kent. Love it!!

I didn't post my entry cake. Here you go.

That cake is gorgeous! How did it taste? Your daughter is too cute by the way.


I'll add to the cakes on here! I made this for my boyfriend 2 years ago for his birthday (which is in less then 2 weeks!) I had never worked with fondant before and that stuff is NOT fun to work with, so that is why the sides look like sand dunes, rather then a cake. It took me hours upon hours to make since I made everything from scratch (minus the fondant, I just colored it) He loved it though, bumpy sides and all.

(you can see a larger, more detailed picture of my sand dune/Zelda cake here)

Inside was chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, which tasted almost exactly like Oreos

Mmmmm, cake!!!!

I think you have the right idea - if I just prepared myself for the crowds, maybe I'd be OK.

That is all you have to do. We just keep reminding ourselves, and each other, we are going to have fun, no matter what, no matter how bad the crowds were, if we get to do everything, great! if not, that is okay too. We just wanted to experience NYE.

I have never seen wait times so high, but we used fastpass and took advantage of taking it all in. That was my first trip down there, in the month of December, so I really enjoyed getting to see all the decorations, and the Osbourne Lights.

We are passholders, and are very lucky to get to go about 3-4 times a year, and getting to do so, if I didn't get to ride a certain ride, or only got to ride it once, then I just didn't let it bother me, I knew I would be back.

I actually missed being down there, this past NYE. My friends agreed, so we are making our plans to return this year.

That is just the cutest cake!!! I love it!

Mind if I ditto that?! I take the same approach; I really do try to minimize waits through good touring plans, only because of the 7yo in tow, but if it's busy, it's busy. We just roll with it and escape to a resort when it stops being fun.

I am sooooooooo NOT surprised that you already have a trip planned. You are a trip machine. There is only one down side to reading your PTR....it is going to slow me down from starting and updating my TR!

Not at all!


I did a lot of reading on the boards too.

That cake is fabulous, fondant or no, and your daughter is adorable!

Hmmm... back story... prolly shoulda posted that! The reason is A) I love resort-hopping and B) We're on the DVC Wait List at Beach Club for some of the dates we wanted, so I made a backup regular ressie at BoardWalk Inn. But I've always wanted to stay there, so I'm kinda hoping the wait list doesn't come through (if it does come through we should prolly take it cuz it would cost us so much less...)

ooooo it's so Superman and Clark Kent. Love it!!

Great cake! I think you should get that one for your DH's birthday!

Wow - I think that looks great! And it sounds like it taste even better (anything that tastes like Oreos is A-1 in my book!)

That is all you have to do. We just keep reminding ourselves, and each other, we are going to have fun, no matter what, no matter how bad the crowds were, if we get to do everything, great! if not, that is okay too. We just wanted to experience NYE.

I like your attitude! I need to try to be like that. I can get kinda worked up over crowds. I think the secret must be those annual passes you have...

I am sooooooooo NOT surprised that you already have a trip planned. You are a trip machine. There is only one down side to reading your PTR....it is going to slow me down from starting and updating my TR!

Oh my gosh - have you started one? I have to check it out.

Great cake!

Admit one please!

That one is the ultimate - it looks like it was molded from plastic! I don't know how they do this stuff.

Aw, man! I was just about to post the link to this:
http://community.babycenter.com/pcphoto/394515 Mario cake. Dang

I like that one too! I'd be afraid to cut into these, though - they're so gorgeous!

 

[Shyvioletisme]
