134…wow, you guys are old!

365 days a year.
And my parents’ and sister’s birthdays are all in one week -_-
My sister’s and mother’s bday are even on the same day!
Geez >_>

Anyway~
My dad wasn’t here on his birthday, he actually wasn’t even in Austria on that day! D:
He was somewhere in Switzerland, showing off his new awesome bot, which you can see HERE somewhere (just click through the site, he’s got some nice bots )
And since he didn’t have time on my sister’s and mom’s birthday either (playing with Lego again, only this time in Austria), we celebrated all their birthdays on the 29th.

I had an entirely different cake planned, which I will still bake one day, but for now, I’m quite happy with this one as well
It has 3 tiers, the bottom one (yellow cake) is my dad’s, because he loves Lego (you never would have guessed that, right?)
The middle tier (chocolate pound cake) is my mom’s, because she loves everything patchwork and actually makes pretty beautiful patchworks and quilts I’m planning to make a blog for her so she can show off her creations~ Look forward to that! 8D
And the top cake (angel food cake) is for my sister because she loves loves loves Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Raven’ :3~

Also, I’d like to add that I was in a rush making that cake, that’s why some things didn’t turn out the way I wanted or are incomplete D:

Please ignore the crumbs, I was lazy >w<;;;;

Quick tip for making super easy lego bricks (or the top at least): Just take a lego baseplate, wash it(!), turn it over and roll out the fondant with a rolling pin~ Then just pull off the fondant and cut it the way you want Of course the nubs will be a bit smaller than on the actual bricks, but it’s so much quicker than cutting out every single one D:

(gah, you’re not seeing the gaps between the bricks, okay? >-<)
A one minute minifig which kinda ended up looking like a chibi o.o;;

Ignore the holes, that’s where the book was attached to the cake with toothpicks XD;

The ball of yarn was supposed to have fondant strings on it, not knife imprinted ones D: But I just didn’t have the time ;A;

I know, I know, the raven looks more like a black canary XD;;;;;
(which made me think of Pavarotti of Glee, which in turn made me think of ‘Quoth the raven “Glitter!”‘ which my sister and I later turned into “Glitter Shorts” and “Eat my Glitter” [yes, we threw some Simpsons in there as well XD;] And Neverotti Glittermore. You really don’t need to get this, don’t worry XD;;;)
