Robin’s Birthday

This year when I asked Robin what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday, he told me he wanted penguins. We had seen a penguin “cake” on Facebook and the idea stuck. So, here we are with a penguin birthday cake.

The “ice” they are sitting on is a rice cake with a yogurt glaze. The penguin body is meringue covered in chocolate (I bought it at the store). The beak, feet, and chest are all marzipan. The eyes are frosting with a sprinkle in the middle.  Here is a close-up:

The left-overs were also enjoyed. Here is what happened to the penguins the next day – penguin sandwich.
