results: penguin cake challenge

The final results on what was billed as the Penguin Playground cake turned out alright. It mostly looks like Candyland and Chutes and Ladders exploded on my cake with a penguin theme. 

I received several compliments on how good it tasted - who doesn't like cake though really?! And Pierson definitely enjoyed telling great grandma and grandpa all about the mama's (his word for penguin) on the cake. He explained about the ones throwing snowballs, jumping rope, and sliding down the slide. And don't forget the seal with a ball on his nose, whale and dolphin in the water.





The party was fun and attended by most of the Hancock clan in the area. They definitely make a point of coming out when Suzanne and Peter host because they are guaranteed to eat well. The menu this time included: Iceburg chop salad, fish sandwiches, polar bear snacks, and a range of penguin snack starters including: cheese, crackers, oysters, clams, pickled mackerel, and shrimp. They really outdid themselves and it was a tasty feast for all. And Pierson walked away with all the toys and loot he could carry.
