A Shrek Birthday

Tomorrow is Shrek's birthday, and I just got done making him a cake from scratch. What would possess someone to do such a thing is a mystery, because it is quite a lot of trouble when you compare it to cake-in-a-box. It must be love....

I made him the cake from this recipe with the icing from this recipe. I'm nervous that the cake might be undercooked, but once it was frosted it looked gorgeous. I'll let you know how it tastes tomorrow!
