Random Sunday - Angry Bird Cake

My friends have been asking me, where's the angry bird cake?
It's announced in my personal FB looooong ago
Ok,ok, here it is...

I made this last September for my niece.

Her dad told me, Joanna wants an Angry Bird cake. So I called up, hoping she'll have other options for me. But she said,
"Ku cheh (姑姐), I want a red angry bird cake, the whole cake red".  

Smack my head. Red, that's a nightmare. Making that really red bird needs a lot of red and I do mean a heck lot.

Making the frosting freaked the hell out of me. I used one whole tub of Wilton No-Taste-Red.
I'm not someone who is comfortable with soooooooooo much food colouring. Some is fine, but one tub seems tooooo much. And look at my table... such a mess. LOL.

The cake is a Japanese Strawberry Shortcake. I made the sponge cake, modified from Reese's Cutie Strawberry Rolls.
LWP, here's the link to the recipe, LOL. So long ago hoh. Sorry la!

And if you can notice... there's something wrong with the comb. haha. I don't play Angry Bird, hence can't really remember how it looks like. By the time I had to do the comb thingy, my laptop went dead (I brought the laptop into the kitchen, checking on the picture all the time to do the cake). And when I finally got it on again, hahaa, I found that my comb was wrongly done. But then, I can't bother to scrape the comb and do it again. Dead tired, mentally.

My niece was ecstatic when she saw the cake, smiling from ear to ear.... And I warned everybody about the amount of red dye in the frosting. To eat or scrape, it's up to them. But it's Italian Meringue Buttercream, darn good. Yummy. Wasted but no choice if one does not want to consume sooooo much red dye.
