Botched birthday cake for my wife lol

I tried my best on this but im certainly neither
A) a decent baker by any stretch
B) a skilled artist
Initially, it was to have this cool tie dye icing since she likes hippie poop ( yeah, a hard rock/metal guy married a partial hippie, figure that one out huh?) But the nice Pintrest photos and Youtube videos could not possibly translate to my banana hands and it just looked like Pennzoil ( theres remnants of its halo around the cake). So, plan B, i covered it up with frosting and tried to draw a Grateful Dead Bear. My 6 ( nearly 7) and 4 year olds could've probably did a better job but $!#% it: best I could do lmao

What’s a Grateful Dead bear ?
They were a bit of a mascot for the band, alongside the Steal Your Face Skull ( blue and red circle with a lightning bolt in the forehead), the terrapin turtles and the skeleton with roses. Seemed to be more popular with them in the late 80s-mid 90s. Was allegedly a reference to their sound guy, Owsley " Bear " Stanley, who was more famous for being one of the premier LSD chemists in the Haight-Ashbury Scene in the 60s.
