In the Dailies

Ellie chose a Winnie the Pooh theme for her birthday this year. It took everything in me not to rush out to my favorite store and buy their really, super cool cake pan that looks like a bee hive. They even sell little candy bumble bees to adorn the sweet thing.

My husband, who is convinced that I compulsively buy every kitchen gadget known to man, especially the ones that take up a ton of space and are only used once a year, has encouraged me to seek versatility in my purchases. His voice in the back of my head convinced me that, while absolutely precious, a beehive cakepan would probably never, ever leave my basement after this one birthday party. But at forty bucks a pop and a basement already full of way too many cake pans (I have an addiction.), I couldn’t justify the cost. (Oh, but it would have been SO PERFECT!!)

Here is what I made instead.

So, all you tweeters and facebook buds who scratched your heads at my status updates over the weekend, you now have your answer. By the way, they tasted just as good as they look. Even the little crazy-eyed ones.
