Happy Birthday

Saturday - Today, in honor of my husband's birthday, I made a birthday cake... out of balloons. Yes I made the other kind too. This one actually took longer. I made a five wheel spoke, made pinch twists at the same distance from the center, and then connected the remaining tail to the pinch twist of the next spoke. Once all five were joined together, I made a small bubble, a pinch twist, then a long bubble joining the next balloon in the "spoke." After about three layers, I ran out of balloon. I could have added more balloons, but that's as far as I went. Then I made a string of bubbles across the top edge to represent the icing. I made a small orange bubble out of scrap, took a white scrap piece of balloon and inflated it partially and tied its knot to the orange bubble. I pushed the two knots down into the white balloon and made it sort of a tulip twist, which held the two knots inside the balloon. And there you have it.
