She did everything from a "Sweet Shop" (for me) to an "Enchanted Castle"( for my sister) to a "Six-car Train" (for my baby brother) to a "Robot" (for my older brother.)
Our birthday cakes were always the highlight of the party, and it was just a very "sweet" *grin* way that my mom showed her love for us.
When I had kids I wanted to do the same for them. It is just a great way to pass on a tradition from one of my favorite memories of my mom. Plus, I really do love making them!
Last Thursday was our big girls 2nd birthday and I made her this Dora cake. So easy and she absolutely loved it!
She actually shares her birthday with her Papa (Chris' Dad), but because he had to work the night of their birthday (bummer!) we celebrated his birthday on Saturday. My job was to bring the cake. Now, normally when I am making a cake for an adult I tone it down a bit. But this year I decided to have a little fun....
My father-in-law LOVES fishing!
Now I realize that it is not the most professional looking cake but I enjoyed making it and his reaction was priceless!
