(Disclaimer: Rebecca made the cake above)My daughter Rebecca loves this blog Cakewrecks. I was relieved that they only accept photos of professionally made cakes because I was afraid she'd submit some of my Birthday cakes.
So, starting with the first birthday of the year---Leah. . .
This was a Care Bear birthday party so the cake was heart shaped---lucky Patrick Noonan--future soccer star---at a Care Bear birthday party!
This was the hardest cake I ever made---it was for Leah's Shira Princess of Power Party. I made it out of an assortment of cakes carved into a castle shape---but the various layers kept slipping. I had them all propped up with tooth picks. I was soooo frustrated and the last thing I needed was Leah's friend Catana (with the suspenders) saying, "That birthday cake isn't very big."
This was a SMALL birthday party---Rachel, Becky with Michele and Kim Delaney (my cousin's daughters) invited. I'm not sure if they were able to come. . .we traditionally had snow storms for Rachel and Leah's birthdays.
This cake was a Cabbage Patch cake with the little plastic figures plunked into the cake with the candles. (Leah looks nervous for some reason, Rachel looks disappointed, but Becky looks ready to party)
This was a Pac-man party for Rachel and some of her Hope Montessori friends---we had mostly round things for lunch---carrot coins is all I can recall in addition to the M&M's. Note the marshmallow ghosts.
This was for Rachel's Beach Party (no easy task in February). We "jammed" to the Beach Boys, played volleyball with balloons and went swimming at Parkway Central. I worked hard on the beach scene---notice the waves in the frosting and take particular note of the brown sugar which I dyed myself. I got all done, looked at it and thought, "Did I really dye white sugar brown when all I would have had to do is sprinkle brown sugar?"
Dave's birthday is also in February and I'm pretty sure I got help decorating that cake.
This was one cake I was afraid would be on Cakewrecks. Our daughter Rebecca and her cousin Todd have birthdays one day apart so this was a birthday cake for both of them. Dave's family really relish puns so way above the heads of Becky and Todd, I added the "to". . . E.T. to. . . .get it Et tu. . .google it if you aren't a Shakespeare, Latin, or Julius Ceasar scholar.
This was one of Rebecca's birthday cakes which Rachel helped me with---note that the Teddy Grahams all have swim suits, features---that's Rachel's touch!

so funny. yeah i still don't get the e.t. cake & it definitely just appears to be RANDOM. it looks like an engagement party cake, like the engagement of becky TO todd. but with the e.t. figure, maybe it looks more bachelorette party if you know what i mean. :) i loved that pac-man cake! cute idea!
I couldn't agree more!! Love Rachels final hot breath touch on the last cake as well.
