Armadillo Cake, No Baby Yet
I tried my hand at a Red Velvet Armadillo Cake -- sorta like in "Steel Magnolias"! We have my sister the armadillo collector in the family grab bag, so we decided to make this as well as the gifts we bought her. She used to lurk on the old Go Bored, and I think she posted a few times as "RMadillo".
Heading down to my brother's house (formerly my parents house) now for our belated Christmas get-together. Today is Karen's due date -- but no sign of labor yet! I don't think she's coming as she doesn't want to be an hour away from the hospital. Ha! That would probably set it off! (I know nothing of overdue babies -- my "latest" was born 3 days prior to her due date.

I love the cake, and bet it was the hit of the party! Most of the armadillos I see are squashed on the side of the road, so this was a real treat.
Personally, I think the baby is waiting for 12:01 am on the 1st. Gotta go for the glory, dont'cha know?

A friend of mine did one for the opening Reception for our Community Theatre's production of Steel Magnolias a couple of years ago. I was hoping he had a picture on his website, but alas, he does not.
Here's some of his other theatre/TV/Movie themed cakes:

I agree. I think that the VAdame family baby and the Sake of the Song baby are planning to abscond with all the first-of-the-year prizes in their respective time zones. BB babies are that smart!hermillion wrote: Personally, I think the baby is waiting for 12:01 am on the 1st. Gotta go for the glory, dont'cha know?

I think it would be smarter to be born at 12:59 on December 31, 2007. The baby's parents would get a year of tax write-offs with only a minute's worth of expense.silvercamaro wrote:I agree.

Put me in the mix for new ones, as I have a new grandson due Jan 3rd. (1st boy in the family since my son (the new dad) was born 26 years ago)

Everyone liked the cake -- in fact, it's gone! Well, Rosemary took home the head/shoulder/front paws section -- but she probably had it for breakfast!
We also gave her this:

Karen & John didn't make it -- she was feeling pretty beat after a night of "twinges" that never progressed. Maybe Angelo really is holding out to be the New Year Baby!
As I said, I nothing of "overdue" babies -- I had one due Aug. 5 born July 12, one due Dec. 14 born Dec. 3, and one due Aug. 16 born Aug. 13. But my sister told us that she went to her college reunion when she was 8 days late with her daughter. And danced! Her classmates kept asking when she was due & she'd say "Last week!" And watched them jump back iin fear that she was gonna pop the baby out right then & there!
It worked; she went into labor the next day.
