As I was putting up Ben's birthday post (below) I realized how much cake we had--3!!! For one little boy! His birthday was on a Saturday, and his party was going to be on Sunday. Well, of course we had a cake for the party, but I wanted him to have some cake ON his birthday, so we came up with a great plan of letting him make his own cake. So we baked one the night before, and had it all ready for him to decorate on Saturday afternoon.
There was one pitfall, Saturday morning from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Mommy and Jacque were to be at a Girl Scout Cookie booth, so more than likely, he would be in bed when I left. So, I got a "little" cake for him to wake up to and start his day out with for fun. Then while I was gone, he decorated his cake--chocolate cake with chocolate frosting along with some other colors and candies to adorn it with.
So, when I sit back and look over all the picture, he had 3 different cakes! And yes, 5 days later we are still working on them--although there isn't much left!
Cake #1--Good Morning Ben! It's an alligator! (2 cupcakes smothered in icing!--what can't you find at Wal-mart these days !)
Cake #2 Ben's creation--and it's yummy!--I'm working on a piece of it now as I'm writing this post.
Cake #3 Our cupcake Cake for the party. It had Kung Fu Panda on it--again, thank you Wal-mart Bakery!! Ben's friend Reese, sitting right in front of the cupcakes, well his expression says it all!
