This Is The Place For You If You Enjoy Being Last...

[ACDSNY]

I am enjoying every minute of it here. I wish I could afford to live here.

I love the area too.

Not nice to be awake in the middle of the night.

You weren't alone. Dumb dog playing the I want to go out until he found out it was rainning so then he wouldn't go.

I wanna know.....

Sounds interesting...

Have fun baking too. Hope you share a pic (and it is one of the times I actually get to see it).

I'm not sure this is a cake picture that can be posted.

I must have missed part of the conversation again, because I thought she was making an Easter cake. I was picturing a bunny or something like that, lol. One day, I am just going to give up on trying to figure out what everyone is talking about!

It IS an Easter cake, it's just... a little odd.

You guys all know that I'm not religious, right? Well, just keep that in mind when you read the description of the cake so that you don't go off on me

So, as you guy may remember, my family's kind of strange. When I was a kid, my (extremely irreverent) uncle decided one Easter that instead of bringing candy for each of us individually, he was going to bring a giant chocolate bunny. Along with white gloves and a creepy bunny mask. In order to have some of the bunny, you had to don the gloves and mask and sacrifice the bunny. So, ever since, The Sacrificial Bunny has been a family joke.

I'm going to make a red velvet cake with white frosting, pastel piping, and a patch of green in the middle of the top. There's going to be a modeling chocolate tree stump and axe and a decapitated chocolate bunny laying next to the tree stump. There's going to be edible fake blood or strawberry puree (haven't decided yet) splattered around the cake, and the cake will also be filled with chocolate ganache and strawberry or raspberry puree.

The best part? I'm going to stick the decapitated head inside the cake. Whoever finds it gets a prize

Good and cold, as the frosting will run off of them other wise. I will take one when there done.

Your cupcakes need to be pretty much completely cool to ice. Otherwise the frosting/butter will melt and slide right off.

What they said I just let them sit for an hour or so and then touch the bottom of the cupcakes to see how warm they are. Cupcakes cool faster because they're smaller than a regular cake.

Dana my DH's family would love the cake and story.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Angela, do you have a slider door? If so I got one of the doggie doors that fit in it, so they can come and go as needed.

I love it!

I'm really looking forward to making it I just want to make sure I pick up a chocolate bunny that's actually good quality, you know? Most of the ones you find are cheap, chalky chocolate and so it wouldn't get eaten.

We do, but I'm afraid of what else may come in since we're out in the country. We currently have raccoons and skunks opening the barrels of dog and cat food unless we keep bricks on them.

Are you going to put the bunny head in after cooking so it doesn't melt?

Yep! I'm going to put it between the cake layers and kind of carve out a little hole so that it doesn't make a bump

Anyone notice my new ticker?? Commited to our Disneyland trip now! Booked our airfare this morning. Checking out the holiday decor & all the new stuff Dec 2-7th.

 

[ACDSNY]

Nice ticker, we'll miss you by a month.

You never know you might slice right through the head when serving the cake! You'd have two winners!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I'm actually planning on making a mark on the cake so I know where the head is

We don't live in the country, but my FIL had cut a big hole in his wall so that the cat could come and go as she pleased. Then he put her food right next to the hole. He wondered why he was chasing possums out of his kitchen at night!

Congratulations on booking your trip!

Smart! Are you getting a solid or hollow bunny?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Probably solid. I'd be worried about the hollow collapsing. I'm leaning toward a Dove or Lindt bunny, since they're good quality
