While I did see the Dark Knight twice in theaters this summer (once on IMAX ), my favorite movie of Summer 08 will go on record as being WALL-E . Seriously, I don't know how those folks at Pixar do it--they're geniuses! Whoever came up with that spork bit, well, give him or her a raise!
I've got a 15-month-old son, and as I gather up ideas for future birthday parties or fun days in the kitchen, I often look to Wilton for inspiration. Their website has so many fun ideas for baking! I was excited to find out that they actually make a WALL-E cake pan . My son was too young to see WALL-E this summer (and definitely too young to appreciate it), but I have hopes for a future WALL-E-themed birthday party--and this cake will definitely be the centerpiece! I also just noticed that they make the most adorable WALL-E icing decorations . They would be SO cute on cupcakes! I'm going to have to have them.
Now, I know that making this cake look as beautiful as pictured will be an endeavor. One thing that's really great about Wilton is that they give you all the instructions needed to reproduce their detailed decorating. Unfortunately they don't also give you the steady hand necessary for all that fine icing work, but I'm working on that...
