Chinese Lion Cake
Our littlest one had a birthday party today - she's turning 4 on Tuesday.

There were candies at Winco called "Burnt Peanuts that were red and prickly and served quite well as pom poms!
This served as inspiration for the cake:
I started with a rather blocky stack of Funfetti bricks.
curly candles completed the festive disposition!
