Leslie Eat World

by Leslie

Julia’s school recently had one of those crazy fundraisers where they sell random stuff like wrapping paper, chocolate covered pecans and light-up Santa toilet seat covers. And since you’re pretty much a jerk who hates education if you don’t buy something, I ordered a sphere cake pan for $100,000. Or maybe $16. It arrived yesterday and since we like to get a little wild on the weekends, we decided to spend our Saturday night whipping up an edible orb. Check out our Earth cake.

Earth Cake

I realize the land placement is a bit off, but I’m not Magellen. And in Julia’s words, “I’ll tell ya where Australia goes: in my belly!” I suggested she go for Asia because it’s bigger. She told me she’s only five and couldn’t possibly eat Asia. “Geez, Mom!”

We talked about making all the planets for a Far Out Party.

Or a disco ball for a Disco Party.

I could make a set of boobs for a bachelor party. Or a Sunday.

The possbilities are as limited as our imaginations. What kind of cake would you make with a sphere pan?

    You know, this cake pan totally reminds me of a lovingly crafted set of boobs made out of jello from a dear friend’s mother to me, during my recouperation from my breast reduction surgery… It was a sweet boob mold! Thanks for helping me rekindle the fond memories!

    And that sentance of mine up there was a serious run-on!

    Yum!

    Saturn would be hard, but the rings have sooo much potential.

    Awesome. It looks yum. I would make my husband’s head. Not that he has a totally round basketballish head or anything. Hardly at all.

    Cool cake!! I’ll share Asia with Julia ;)

  6. Jen in MI on November 22, 2009 7:22 pm

    Disco ball for sure. I’m a 70s girl! ;-)

    *sniff*… I do not see New Zealand there!
    I wouldn’t eat Australia.. it’s a desert.. well except for around the sides! Dry and dusty! lol

    Most of my sentences are run-ons. Or fragments.

    Jello boobs! Perfect for breast reduction recouperation. Or maybe a breastfeeding support group meeting? I like to do stuff according to a theme.

    Thanks for stopping by my place!

  9. Leslie on November 24, 2009 12:28 am

    Yeah, yum! I need to quit making this stuff, though. I’m going to gain all my weight back. Damn baked goods!

    Julia suggested that we suspend the cake planets from the ceiling and let everyone just take bites out of them.

    The whole idea is kind of crazy. I only have one size sphere.

  11. Leslie on November 24, 2009 12:31 am

    Ha ha ha! My husband’s head is more oblong. Kind of like Bert of Bert & Ernie.

  12. Leslie on November 24, 2009 12:33 am

    I ate Asia. And Europe. Also Antartica. I ate half the planet! I felt like it, too. Oomph.

  13. Leslie on November 24, 2009 12:34 am

    You know they make edible glitter. Makes me want to throw a disco party right now!

  14. Leslie on November 24, 2009 12:35 am

    I assure you New Zealand was represented. And I ate it. It was good.

  15. Ally on November 25, 2009 4:24 pm

    How about a big bloodshot eyeball for next Halloween..

  16. Ally on November 25, 2009 4:25 pm

    Oh, and Chris, it’s raining in my part of Australia (Melbourne).. not a desert at all… more of a dessert!

  17. Leslie on November 26, 2009 1:10 am

    Ooooh! That’s a good idea.

  18. Karly on November 27, 2009 7:39 pm

    I wouldn’t make anything because I have no heart and I refuse to buy from those fundraisers. I’m such a jerk, but DUUUUDE. They are so overpriced. If they just came and asked me for cash I’d say yes. Don’t make me buy your crap.

    But, this wasn’t about that, was it? So, I guess I’d make boobs. Because boobs are the perfect dessert! Or so says my husband.
