Christmas Lemming Cake
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2012 3:13 pm
Whilst working on the pattern for my plush lemmings (posted elsewhere in this section) a couple of months ago, I jokingly suggested to my mother that this year's family Christmas cake ought to be Christmas Lemmings-themed. To my surprise, she ran with this, and the cake itself was finally made today.
It's based on character artwork from Christmas Lemmings. I traced and coloured a simplified version of the source image to provide shape and colour references (a print-out of it can be seen in the second picture, with the only difference being the colour of the scarf, which had to be changed to blue as we didn't have the slightly odd dark green shade), my mother baked the cake, and my father and brother decorated it.
I'm told, by those who cut it to shape and thus got to eat the leftover bits, that the cake itself tastes great, and I'm really looking forward to getting to try a slice. That said, it seems like a real shame to have to cut it up! (Though I'll always have the photographs, at least!
)
Lemmy Christmas, everybody!
