"Fun" Facts about Saint Fulgentius

(Related to my previous post.)

Once, this one time, Saint Fulgentius was hanging out with the King of the Goths and some Romans. And the Romans looked super fancy, and Saint Fulgentius was all, "Oh, if Rome is so flippin sweet, heaven must really be, like, wow."

See the really excellent source here.

I was hoping for some kind of miracle where his head got cut off and his disembodied head continued to read picture books to children in his local library for 12 days and 12 nights, but the fact that he said something about heaven once is pretty fun too!

Birthday Cake for John

Made this cake/
these cupcakes
for John's birthday.
It's the house from Up!
The cupcakes are balloons.

The cake is a Pillsbury Devil's Food, one box, and the colored icing is a stout buttercream, which I made myself and colored with regular food coloring.


The details on the house are made of the colored buttercream, piped out of tiny parchment-paper pastry bags I folded up.

There's also a crumby screenshot of the house from the movie (for comparison).

It took a long time. I guess I've chosen to depict the moment before Carl's house first lifts off, because I included a shrub (azaleas, I presume.)
