Beating the summer heat

I saw the idea on pinterest to put glow sticks in the bath tube for the little ones and thought it would be fun to do on a larger scale. So when our family was visiting from Wyoming we decided to fill the pool with glow sticks for a little night swim. It was a fun activity for such a beastly HOT night! 

Getting them ready 

Ready to jump in! 

 Afterwards we put them in the freezer and were able to have another glow swim the following night. 

Sonic the hedgehog cake

I started out with two 9" round cakes and used one for the head and cut the other for the hair and ears. I free handed the second cake and kept cutting and adding pieces until I liked the shape. 

Next I frosted the whole cake with white buttercream frosting and then used a toothpick to draw out the face

Final step was adding the millions of stars!
