The Giraffe Cake

This is the cake that I want for Aidan. I found it on the internet and fell in love with this particular giraffe. I mean - really. Isn't he cute????

For about 2 weeks, I contemplated trying to replicate this cake myself. I went back and forth on how I would do this. I stressed about it. I researched how to do cake decorating. I hemmed. I hawed. I worried. I stressed some more.

Yesterday, I decided that I was crazy. I am not a cake maker. I am not a baker. I am not an artist. Screw it. I am having the cake made. I just can't do it all. I would have liked to make Aidan's cake. But - I am woman enough to admit when I can't do something. And let's face it - if I had attempted to make this cake - it would have turned out messy. Sloppy. And ridiculous looking. So no. Instead - I am taking the easy way out and in the end - I will have a cute little giraffe cake! So there.
