Getting ready for the last Panda Birthday of the year...
The staf at Zoo Atlanta is getting ready for the last panda birthday of the year!
Here is an update by panda keeper Jen about the preparations for Po’s birthday:
And some might argue that we’ve saved the best for last – PO! Our little tyke will be turning 2 years old on November 3rd. To celebrate, he will be getting some presents in hand painted boxes (compliments of his keepers) and his very own ice cake designed by yours truly! I’ve got the concept down and will hopefully be making it this week. Why so early you ask? Well any expert ice cake maker knows that freezing multiple layers of water with food coloring or treats in a multi-tiered cake takes a long time! If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that you can’t rush the process! Po really enjoyed his mom’s birthday cake so I’m sure he’s going to get a blast out of this one! It won’t be nearly as tall as the others have been, simply because it’s for a smaller bear, and I like my cakes as tall as the bears they’re for! Next year will be a challenge – not sure how I will out-do my cakes from this year! 🙂
