The cake is finished!!! All I can say is tht I have GREAT friends! Carrie came over (with her wonderful 1 year old son). She immediatly started carving, cutting and staking pieces into place. Nickolas was on baby duty and he did a superb job, but he did say that watching a baby is hard work. Another friend, Emily came over and all we could do was watch Carrie go. She called it quits after she frosted the mess with 2 coats. Nickolas just finished putting on the finishing touches, Golden Grahams for the roof tiles and couple of crosses from the model he did yesterday. I added some shredded coconut, sprayed with green food coloring, for grass and it is now complete. It is not perfect, but at the same time it is totally home made. I feel sorry for whoever cuts into it tomorrow, since it is filled with toothpicks and scewers.
