Peanuts Party!

We had a Peanuts party to celebrate my Dad's birthday and my brother's new job. My dad likes Peanuts from when he was little so we decided to make Snoopy and his red dog house. To be more unique, since my dad wouldn't eat cake that much, my mom and I decided to make a dish that look like a desert. With all the preparation, my mom didn't have time to decorate the Snoopy sushi. I thought I could handle it but all the rice fell apart after a min or so, lol. Woodstock made of mashed potato was very realistic tho. My mom is good at making characters out of edible stuff. The "chocolate cake" on the right is Japanese style meatloaf. She made the letters by squeezing mashed potato out of a tube. Chocolate flakes sitting around the base is fried gobo. The brown stuff in the back is fake jelly made of soy sause based jelly with chopped raddish and squid in it. The cold jelly part was best in the hot humid weather (we had the AC on so it wasn't hot in the room tho:P). To conclude the party, we had three kinds of cake: plum wine cake, peach yogurt cake, and orange tart. Everything was yummy and fun.

If we are having a birthday party together, we will do something creative like this, Kris! lol...
