This was the cake of my dreams, and I'm so thankful for the friends who caused this cake to become a reality. It seems like I try to find the path less traveled, and usually it leads me to places I really want to be even though there might be insects and spiders involved.
You'll note there is a spider on the side of the cake, and you probably can't see it but... there's a hidden snake. You often find a snake in the grass. Well, maybe you don't, but I look for them. A lot. Especially after looking at the OK snake ID Facebook page. Then, when I go outside, every snake-sized stick becomes an exercise inducer.
Once a friend was listening to me, and stared at me with a look of disgust on his face. "You really like bugs." He said that like it was a bad thing.
So, for full disclosure, I don't think I really do like bugs. Nor do I really like snakes—except the little green ones are okay if you don't upset them, and the ones that look like they're wearing a bow tie are hard for me to dislike. It feels like they dressed up, so I have a soft spot for them. I believe they're called ring neck snakes. And I waiver about disliking the nonvenomous snakes that eat rodents. If they've eaten chicken eggs from a pen I'm near, I dislike them passionately.
So, if I were thinking about my less travelled path, then I'd say I'm not thrilled with spiders or snakes, but often they happen to be where the beauty in nature is. And my advice to nature-loving friends: Think twice before you drive off the edge of a cake
