It begins, "Camilla Cream loved lima beans. But she never ate them. All of her friends hated lima beans, and she wanted to fit in. Camilla was always worried about what other people thought of her.
Today she was fretting even more than usual. It was the first day of school, and she couldn't decide what to wear. There were so many people to impress! She tried on forty-two outfits, but none seemed quite right. She put on a pretty red dress and looked in the mirror. Then she screamed."
The story goes on to describe just how bad Camilla's bad case of stripes is. The doctors are stumped, as are the specialists and the experts. Then a sweet old lady knocks at the door, and thinks she has the cure. To find out what the cure is, you have to READ THE BOOK! I'm not telling!
Anyways, this is the cake I came up with for Kate's "A Bad Case of Stripes" party. The green dots around the bottom are supposed to be lima beans (even though they look more like peas). Kate couldn't tell a difference.

Anyways, it's a cute story, and it sends a great message. The message I got from this story:NEVER BE AFRAID TO BE YOURSELF!
If you've read the story what message did you get?

Cute cake, Cami! What talent.
Mine would have ended up looking like a psychedelic hippie cake if I tried making the stripes.
Very creative!
If I remember the story right, (it's been a while), I got "it's important to eat your lima beans, even if no one else does."
Dang cute cake girlfriend. Happy Birthday to Kate!
