I baked the cake, made the frosting, wrapped and froze it all and flew from Michigan to Arizona visiting my parents and sister. By the time we arrived, it was thawed and ready for assembly. I threw this together in 10 minutes. Putting the 'needles' was a Mom and daughters project, as that part took forever. As you can see, we got bored and half the needles were left off. But it was fun and my Mom was amazed. Of course, she is a little biased!
