Many moons ago, I asked for advice about a monster cake my daughter was making. Here are the picture

Belated thanks to everyone who helped. Here is the cake DD made: She used the box cake Marilyn's friend recommended, covered with green fondant, and the monsters are made from chocolate clay.

You can see more from the side view - notice the little helicopter at the side:

Her monsters are adorable:

One of her ambitions (out of several) is to be a pastrychef. I think she is certainly talented enough, and her sister thinks she belongs on Ace of Cakes!

 
The cake was for a friend's birthday party, and she had asked for

a monster cake. DD colored the white chocolate clay with paste food coloring. She was 15 when she made this, and has reached the stage where she looks at me sadly when I paint the decorations on chocolate moulds with colored chocolate, and says, "Mom, let me do it".

 
Lana, the cake is fantastic! But what I wanna know is - how'd you get the pictures in your post??

I've been putting the links into the Link URL box, but that limits me to one picture per post.

How'd you get all of those pictures in there???

Spill!

Love the cake, by the way. Such talent and creativity! And she's only 15?? Amazing!

 
Well, I cheated, really. I used Dreamweaver to write the post,

and pasted the HTML into the message box. You can just put the HTML commands in, but I've become very lazy since I bought Dreamweaver (same DD is disgusted with me because I don't write in HTML - she types happily away in it, having apparently absorbed it from the air). I posted the pictures to my web site, and linked to them, but you can link to photobucket.
I know the following instruction will work, because I had to turn the tag into an image or the system read the HTML and you couldn't see it!
Where you want to add an image, type the following with your photobucket link pasted where the sample says url (and please don't put in the vertical line at the end - that was a mistake!)
