it’s a cake!

I saw this fun project in the Food Network magazine and decided to give it a go!  And for the record … spending an hour putting jelly beans on a cake is extremely therapeutic!

    Oooh, looks so yummy! I probably would have eaten more jelly beans than would have made it on this cake, if it were me! ;)

    cute! the jelly belly decoration is so cute, but we had a hard time eating them with our cake on EJ’s rainbow cake. can’t believe i’m saying this, but it’s almost too much sugar!

    I can tell you that it would NOT be theraputic for me to spend an hour placing jelly beans just so, but your pictures if just beautiful and the cake is darling;)
