This kid challenges me every year with some obscure theme and cake design. I don't usually go all out on decorations like some people - I wish I put more time into that actually but he really only cares about the cake. So that's where my brainstorming goes. My cake skills are EXTREMELY amateur. I don't use fondant, for one thing. And I have no idea what I'm doing. But I make yummy cakes and my kids love them, so the end result is perfect, as far as I'm concerned.
Here are the last few cakes from years past.

So this year he's all about Minecraft. It's a game I vaguely understand, but he and Holden think it's the greatest thing ever. This year he wants two figures for the top of the cake, and I'll probably have to figure out how to work with fondant to make these. I've seen some people that just made 3-D paper figures for the top, so it may resort to that. I need to do some experimenting. We're kind of combining elements from these two cakes I found.
WISH ME LUCK!
you're making me tear up! Looking at the younger pics of him in this post and then the pic of him on the right of your website. Oh my, he has gotten so big and mature.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that he cares about the cake. It doesn't get any better than that. ;-)
you're such an awesome mom!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG look at how much he changed from chubby baby at 4 to little boy at 5!! He's so cute :)
oh and to answer your question- I do have a nook!! I NEVER carry it with me because its too big for my purse and that makes me sad. :( guess I need another purse!!
Aw, 7. Seems like he was just born yesterday, right? I know you'll make an awesome cake. How could you not for the kid with the World's Best Birthday. I'm making strawberry lemonade cupcakes for my day.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love the cakes. I always think about making my own cake but then I don't. LOL.
ReplyDeleteDo you make them from scratch or cake mix?
