Okay, I made my cake and it took me four hours, lol. But it's yummy ... I'm eating a slice as I'm uploading the pic. I wanted to explain why I chose the picture in the background. First, because I bought it more than forty years ago in a street fair in Essen, Germany, when I was very young. Since Elvenar is a German company and I'm celebrating its birthday, I felt it was appropriate to use a German artist (we watched him while he made this for us ... I was a kid then, and now ... come to think of it, I'm still a kid. I don't think the decades of my childhood will ever pass.
)
The second reason, is because the horse looks like something that an Elvenarian would ride. Beautiful and ethereal ... which is the reason I wanted the picture all those years ago. Hey, I must have been an Elvenarian even back then!
Anyway here goes (and you don't have to tell me I suck at making fire phoenixes and brown bears, lol. I already know that, but I tried!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELVENAR! You have given me so much joy that four hours is not that much to give back to you. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
(Sorry I don't know how to make the file smaller to have it show up without an attachment. It says it's too big.)
