Birthday cakes

Sorry, guys, missed a week or two!  Stupid sickness.

Anyway, Dylan's bday today made me want to talk about birthday cakes.

Mom usually made them (exceptions?), and she was good at it!

Favorite flavors/combos? (I was a vanilla with buttercream gal).

Favorite decorated cake or cake disaster (were there any?)?

Here are some old ones I found of mine.

Holly Hobby from when I was... 4?  And Donald Duck when I was 2.

Cabbage Patch kids (with a pacifier!) when I was 9 or 10, and my princess cake when I was 7

 

 

 

I think the Cabbage Patch one is my all-time fave.  I was so impressed with that one!  ...So much so that I didn't bother combing my hair?

Huh.  Maybe Mom's cakes were what inspired me to always go all out for birthdays?  I have done simpler ones/cupcakes for the past few years, but I remember a pretty nice Angelina Ballerina one when Tessa turned 5, a Thomas one, and two monkey ones!
