CASology #243


Welcome to Week 243 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:


What a yummy cue word this week!!  I am a big fan of cake and icing.  It's pretty much my favourite dessert.  Nothing fancy either - a good old Duncan Hines box cake makes me very happy - Devil's Food with whipped vanilla frosting preferably!  While I love chocolate cake with white icing it's not that fun to colour so this little bear got to chow down on yellow cake with strawberry icing.  He's made an admirable start but I think I would have gotten a lot further before I gave up.  Not sure if that's actually something to be proud of...

Looking forward to seeing what direction the cue word takes you.  Check out the gorgeousness from the rest of the design team then play along!

That lil bear is just way too cute, Jen! I agree, he didn't get very far, did he?! I'm pretty sure I'd have gotten at least a couple layers finished off and, with a cold glass of milk in hand, who knows what I might accomplish! ;)
It's white cake with buttercream frosting for me, but I'd eat chocolate too...

Super 'sweet' Jen (ps I like icing too.... especially if it's on cake!)

Your cake story made me laugh - I can so relate! Super cute card, Jen!

Now I can bake cake like no one's business.... But I can't make icing to save my life! I love this sweet image! He's so cute, and it's too bad that he left all that cake. Guess he's planning on leftovers! Great card. BTW...those centipede pix on FB were scary!!! And it was on you?????? I'd need valium to sleep for weeks! Bev

This is so cute! In this family, chocolate with chocolate icing is the popular choice, but you're right, who wants to colour a big ole pile of brown! :P Your bear does look like he's eaten his fill. :)

Such a darling take on the cue card and your Copic coloring is just beautiful, Jen! Thanks for your inspiration!

Anita in France said...

Adorable, Jen, your cute bear is just so fun! I'm not a big icing lover, so I'd probably look just like this little guy after making my way through the top layer of that scrumptious cake! Hugs, Anita :)

Haha, a very true sentiment Jen! The card is so sweet.

Love and hugs

When there's too much cake (if there is such a thing), gosh darn it, I'll make some room! :D
