Fella’s Cake Remake

Drat.

There were 2 minor logistical issues that I thought I neatly solved with a single stroke. The first is that the cake is tall and didn’t neatly fit in the fridge nor was it easily covered. The second is that the Rice Krispie Treats we used to construct the Angry Bird course don’t do well indoors because the warm temps soften them sufficiently to make them sag. The picture in the previous post shows this pretty clearly.

So, since we’d been experiencing cooler temps the past few days, I decided to put it out in our garage. It was plenty cool out there and I figured it would be suitably preserved by the cold.

Unfortunately, there’s a mouse in our garage. And it ate some of the frosting on the cake. And we couldn’t, in good conscience, patch it up and try to pass it off knowing that it had been violated by the little critter.

The Wife wasn’t happy, nor was I since now we have to scramble to remake the cake. The boy was even less happy, wishing all manner of terrible curses and ill-fates for the mouse. Classic over reaction to the whole thing, but he’s a kid and that’s what happens.

At any rate, looks like I have my work cut out for me tomorrow.
