My son wanted a grasshopper cake for his birthday. I wouldn't have been real impressed with just doing a sheet cake and drawing a grasshopper on it. Plus, I wanted to try my hand at doing a 3-D cake. I cooked a half sheet cake and then cut it in three long pieces. I then stacked the pieces to make a tall long box that I then carved into the grasshopper shape. I iced the grasshopper body, then added the legs, which are just breadstick size pretzels. The antennae are the small stick pretzels.
"Edible Creations Made to Your Specifications." I have been cooking and baking since I was about five years old. In high school, I got started with cake decorating while working for a frozen yogurt shop. I seemed to have a knack for it. Since then, I have made most of the cakes for my kids' birthdays and many friends. I do all sorts of baked goods, and I'll highlight some of the better ones here and tell you a little about them.
