Globey

I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING

SET UP FOR TODAY'S BLOG (OR THIS ENTIRE

WEEKEND FOR THAT MATTER, GOO!)

SO HERE'S A BLOG ON

GLOBEY!

MEADOW AND I MADE THIS CAKE FOR 

OUR BELOVED FRIEND JESUS.

I CALL HIM J.

I DID NOTICE A COUPLE THINGS THAT I

HAD FORGOTTEN TO MENTION IN MY 

LAST SPHERE CAKE AFTER PARTY.

 HOPEFULLY I CAN REMEMBER THEM NOW!

THIS GENERIC CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

FROM FRY'S IS THE BEST SO FAR FOR SPHERES.

IT HOLDS WELL AND IS VERY FORGIVING.

 ONE THING I DEFINITELY FORGOT TO MENTION

BEFORE IS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT YOUR

CAKE BE COLD BEFORE YOU BEGIN ICING IT.

AFTER TAKING IT OUT OF THE OVEN, I LET IT SIT

FOR 20 MINUTES, REMOVE IT FROM THE PAN,

AND PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE FOR AN HOUR.

ANY WARMTH WILL LEAVE YOUR ICING

DRIPPING OFF THE SIDE.

FUCK I WISH I HAD SOME PICTURES

OF THE DISASTER CAKES!!!!

THAT WOULD BE SOOOO GOOOD!

OH WELL.

GLOBEY WAS PRETTY SIMPLE TO DO.

HERE WERE THE ACCESSORIES:

I MADE THE HANDS OUT OF CARDBOARD.

NO PAINT NEEDED, IT WAS ALREADY

THE EXACT COLORS I WANTED. 

 WE USED A NOSE PENCIL SHARPENER.

MEADOW HAD IT ON HAND.

BRILLIANT.

 BOTTOMS UP!

FOR REAL.

THAT'S HOW THIS CAKE WORKS.

NEXT WE ASSEMBLED THE STAND:

 WE DRILLED HOLES INTO THE BLACK STAND

SO THAT THE SKEWERS COULD GO ALL THE WAY

DOWN TO THE CAKE CARDBOARD.

WE ALSO HOT GLUED THE CAKE CARDBOARD

TO THE PLATE.  WE NEEDED SOME SERIOUS

WEIGHT ON THE BOTTOM AND A VERY

STURDY STAND FOR TRANSPORT.

SPHERE CAKES ARE HEAVY SO

ANY BASE MAKES THEM EXTREMELY

TOP HEAVY.

WE USED A CHIPPED PLATE SO THAT IF IT

GOT RUINED OR WE NEVER SAW IT AGAIN

IT WOULD BE OK.

IS THAT A COUCH IN YOUR 

(MEADOW'S) KITCHEN?

WHY YES!  YES IT IS! 

THANK YOU FOR NOTICING!

 REGULAR FROSTING WORKS FOR THE MIDDLE.

NO NEED FOR DECORATING ICING HERE.

GREEN NOSE GLUE.

EEW.

 MEADOW DID THE FROSTING FOR THIS ONE.

SHE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB!

 SHE'S MUCH BETTER AT THIS THAN ME.

EYEBROWS!

 GLOBEY LOOKS SO CUTE, LIKE

HE'S SITTING STILL FOR MAKEUP.

 WE BARELY HAD ENOUGH ICING

TO FINISH HIM!  HE TOOK 2 BOTTLES

OF BLUE, ONE BLACK, AND ONE GREEN.

WE DID WAY MORE CONTINENTS THAN

IT CALLED FOR JUST TO HAVE ENOUGH

TO COVER HIM!

SO LONG AS THE ARMS, EYEBROWS, NOSE, AND

BLACK LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE LINES

WERE THERE THOUGH, HE'S STILL GLOBEY!

VIOLA!

HOT GLUE GUNNED THE ARMS TO THE BASE

AND IT'S DONE!

THEN WE TRANSPORTED HIM

I HELD HIM AND MEADOW DROVE

TO J'S (ALSO TREVOR'S) HOUSE.

HE LOVED IT!

 I AM USUALLY NOT AROUND FOR

THE CUTTING OF A SPHERE CAKE.

WHEN I AM THEY ALWAYS SEEM

TO NOT WANT TO CUT INTO IT.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING IT THOUGH!
