This is Em's birthday cake this year. She really loves Les Mis and requested this cake. It was really fun to do. I just covered the cake with white fondant then painted on it using black food coloring. I haven't done anything artistic for a while and this was really fun! It made me want to draw and paint again. We went to the late movie, The Hobbit, last night. All of us really liked it. When we got out at midnight, the wind was blowing and there were several inches of new snow. We plowed through the drifts to get home. Then we woke up to a big blizzard. I don't know if a lot of snow came down, but there are spots with drifts several feet deep in the yard and driveway. (There are bare spots too because of all the wind...) It was a good day to stay inside!
recognized the image on the cake immediately upon glancing at it. Our family is quite good in the drawing/painting dept. but I think you are the most gifted. You should take some time to do a little more of that when you get done with school.

Really cute cake! What a fun idea! Happy Birthday Em! I haven't seen Les Mis yet or the Hobbit. I'm dying to see both - and Lincoln.
