My husband asked if I’d make a cake for his workmate’s birthday this weekend. He asked me if I could do a cookies and cream cake like my last post<\/a>, but I had some blue buttercream left over so I asked if I could go rogue and make it Cookie Monster themed. He had no objections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they say, “Practice makes perfect” and I’ve been enjoying my opportunities to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
