It's that time of week again!
Addy graciously let me do my own blog post today, seeing as how she had nothing to do with the Monsters. I find her very funny.
Ok, so this is basically going to be a bunch of photos of what I my Mom and I made for my nephew's 5th birthday. Usually Mommers and I do birthday cakes and cupcakes together, but my Mom's work schedule that week didn't allow for that - she even had to miss the party!
However, Mommers baked everything, and began piping the monster cake before she had to go. The rest was up to me. Yay.
I like decorating cakes and cupcakes. But it's no fun doing it alone. And I didn't have Mom around to complain to when my hand started cramping, or I whipped up the frosting too fast and got splattered, or when I stuck my finger in the cake by accident.
It was a bit of a bummer.
But after I got all the fur on, I got to make the faces. And THAT has to be my FAVORITE part! I love giving non-living objects personalities, and the way I do that with food is through facial expressions. Some of these just crack me up!
I got my facial expression inspiration from some monkey faces I did awhile back for my niece.

And we got our over-all inspiration from one of my sister's pins, here. It's the 6th pic down. :)
Now for the pics!

| "Hey Kid! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" |
 |
| Really. I mean it. I'm a really nice guy. |
 |
| The pirate monster was a big favorite. I had 3 cupcakes left when I thought of doing pirates....so there was only one. :/ |
 |
| The only girl. Haha. |
 |
| He had to sit next to the pirate all night. I think he must have been threatened; he looks a little fearful. I moved him in the morning, so that he would feel better in time for the party later. |
 |
| I think the orange one on the right found something to eat....doesn't he look a little guilty? |
 |
| Left: This guys next to me is a little too optimistic about his chances of survival. Right: C'mon Man! Loosen up! |
 |
| Mustache: I have a UNI BROW! How humiliating... Cyclops: I am so lucky to be able to see! Eye Roller: I can't believe I'm grouped with these two...get a life, you guys! |
 |
| PLEASE. Don't eat me! |
 |
| Eat? Who said anything about being eaten!?! |
 |
| Oh grow up, 'fraid cat. Everybody's gonna be eaten sooner or later. Monster up! Scare the Kids, and you've got a shot at 5 more minutes. Huh. |
I gave some of them scared faces - they're about to be eaten, for crying out loud!
Others grumpy faces - they don't like parties.
Some smiled - it's the kid's birthday party, after all.
And yet others were crazy - either a reflection of myself, or they were driven to that state by emotions. You decide for yourself.
=)
If you have any questions about how I did it, what I used, etc, feel free to comment. I will reply!
Love Monsters!
