Well.... kinda. My host mother, bless her heart, is a woman of many talents. Besides making 500 tamales she bakes and decorates cakes. After taking about 10 classes or so of cake making she is ready to take on the world of baking! Her cake making methods are baking the cake in an oven, tracing charactertures on rice paper and using pre made frosting to color them in, then literally throwing coconut shavings and spinkles anywhere and everywhere until the cake looks like a little kid's art project. So, she took on a huge baking project: making 4 cakes for a 1 year old. So I gladly helped, and I have to say... I've never seen her cakes look this good.... mind you, there is a little bit of her cheesiness lingering, but it was a blast making these cakes! It took up about 6 hours to finish!
