The Tiger Cake

It seems like we’re having lots of birthdays around here.  One a month all summer long!  August is the month that my fourth child was born!  She turned 7 this month!  She and her older sister, poured over the Family Fun website looking for fun cakes that we could make for her upcoming birthday.  She chose the Tiger Birthday Cake.

My 12 year old made this cake for me.  I think she did a great job!

 

Supplies:  

  • One Circle Cake & 2 Cupcakes (we used 2 cake mixes and had leftover cupcakes)
  • Frosting tinted orange + a small amount of chocolate frosting for the stripes
  • Jelly Beans  (2 green & 2 black)
  • Peppermint patties

Directions:

Bake your circle cake & cupcakes as directed on recipe/packaging.  Frost them orange.  If you buy frosting in a container, you will probably want to thicken it with powdered sugar, making it easier to work with.  We made our orange frosting from scratch, but bought the chocolate frosting and had to thicken it.  (It was way too runny to work with before.)  After the frosting was thickened, she put it in a plastic baggy with the corner cut off and a cake decorator’s tip stuck down into it to form a decorator’s bag.  Then, she drew on the squiggly lines for the stripes and the oval shapes for the eyes.    When all the lines were done, it was time to place the candy on the cake to finish the face.  Refer to the picture above for an example of how the candy is placed.  Please realize that you will need to cut some of your peppermint patties into the right shapes.

 

 

Here’s some more pictures of our birthday girl.  We generally have a family birthday party, complete with her 6 cousins and grandparents.  That’s normally a big enough party for us!

She just saw the new bike she was getting!

Giving that bike a try with the help of her older sister!

and finally, blowing out all 7 of those candles!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
