Signs of the past

At least once a year I'm seized by the impulse to make a Wilton cake. You know the ones...those of your childhood birthday parties, with the cartoon-character designs created by the combo of a shaped cake pan and about a million multi-colored stars. So for this year's "spring break" party the 5yo and I went in search of a flower-shaped pan. Sure enough, Wilton makes a flower pan. So we made the cake. I will say this was much easier than the cartoon characters I've made in the past, like a Winnie-the-Pooh with a honey pot.
