The Greatest Walmart Cake Ever

Today is the last day for my boss at Walmart, Kay Anne. So I decided to bake her a cake. I thought I would walk you through the steps I took to not only bake the cake, but draw Sam Walton giving Kay Anne a thumbs up for all her hard work. A few notes about this cake are in order. First, the pens I used were terrible. Worst $4 I think I've spent in a long time. Second, I don't bake, like ever, which means there like a 65% chance this things isn't edible. Now that we have that out of the way, on to the picture!




First, I baked a cake. This is the first cake I've ever baked, so I apologize to those in advance who eat this cake. But's it chocolate covered in sugar, so I'm sure it's ok.



Notice the fine details, like the top crust of the cake coming off into the frosting, so my delicate work of putting more frosting on top of that and mixing it in. My culinary skills are top-notch.



Now the crucial part. I tried to draw Sam Walton giving her a thumbs-up. What actually is on the cake is an anorexic Poke'mon trainer flipping her the bird, but I guess they're close enough.



I did a comparison of the picture I used for Sam Walton and what I came out of the pen. I think I got the head shape close enough, but again, this looks like a Poke'mon trainer



Now I had a few colors left over for the cake, and since I hadn't used the green pen yet, this meant one thing: Dinosaur! 


No good anything I draw is complete without a monster truck too. It's pretty much my calling card for anything I draw. There would be an Abraham Lincoln in there too, but his awesomeness would overpower the other 2 characters.


This is what those pens did to my hand. I washed my hands under scalding hot water with a bunch of soap and it's still on my hands. Dumb pens...


Voila! The finished cake. I added yellow to Sam's hat since Walmart's colors are blue and yellow, and I tried to fix Sam's "thumb", but ended up looking more like "the finger" than it did before. 


So there you have it, my escapades in baking. As you can tell, I really don't bake ever, but I'm sure the cake is good.
