Wow, Betty, your narrative puts me to shame!
I can't say much about my next attempt - Disney was never one of my favourites, and Donald Duck - out of all my not-favourite Disney characters - was never on my excitement radar.
However, we don't get to pick and choose these cakes, so I attempted Mr Duck. As you may guess from the title of this entry, it wasn't entirely successful.
One thing that I did not remember about DD was that his middle name is Fauntleroy - and apparently, he is a VIP member of the Mickey Mouse Club.
Erm. So, yeah. That's my limit...
On to a general comment about the Book though, and that is that the amount of food colouring used to get the vibrant colours in the pictures is obscene. Seriously, I didn't get DD's beak anywhere near as orange as the pics and I used an entire bottle of orange colouring. Scary!
My second comment about the Book is that if nothing else, it is providing me the opportunity to make cake-mix-cakes. These were (and are, actually) a complete no-no in my house when I was growing up, and I think i really missed out.
Yes, they taste like chemicals - but so fluffy and so easy!
Anyway, DD was a special cake for the Big Boss's birthday - I hope it was enjoyed.
The next challenge is Mickey Mouse.
You heard me - M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E... Mickey Mouse!
