A Hamburger Today

Right before Elliott's birthday I came across a blog about these cupcakes. Someone had actually mistaken her cupcakes for a slider. They were pretty disappointed that it wasn't real meat. I thought the whole thing looked pretty cool so I had to try it.
Chocolate Cupcakes
Yellow Cupcakes
 I made the two different kinds of cupcake and a few different colors of frosting, including red and yellow.
A little bit of green-colored coconut and some sesame seeds and it was finished.

John Deere

My dad is a lawn mowing expert and a big fan of John Deere. When we lived in Iowa we visited the John Deere factory there and went to the museum in Illinois twice. For his birthday I made him a John Deere lawn mower. It will not rival any of Ace of Cake's cakes for accuracy but it turned out alright. If I had to do it over again I would redo the handle!

Here is a side view.
