This is the Monkey’s Lemon Lime birthday cake. I had no idea how I was going to decorate it until I snipped the end off a ziplock and decided to do spirals all over.

The thin greenish lines that seem to criss cross it say “Happy Birthday” (the pic is upside down-, there now you can see it. It’s like op art. ). I didn’t trust my ziplock cake decorating skills for lettering, so I bought a tube of green gel icing. It didn’t work out so well. So this is the world’s ugliest cake, but it sure was tasty.
