About 2 months ago my good friend told me he was going to be an uncle again, for the fourth time.  Initially the doctors thought the baby was going to be a girl, but it looks like he was playing his first practical joke because upon a second (or third?) ultra sound, it looks like she is actually a he.  Of course I offered to make the cake for the baby shower.  With a little time off of work and a lot of help from my friend and the discovery that the block were huge and would actually feed 3 people each (so I didn't need to make as many), I was able to pull it off.  They're not quite as pretty as I would like, and I can't take credit for the lion, apple or duck, but I think they turned out super cute (and tasty too - yay leftovers!).
