I love celebrating my boys Birthdays. They get so excited about having a special day all to themselves. Every year, I cannot believe how fast they are growing up and I get very sentimental!
The Birthday Cake has become a real tradition in our home, like in many homes I suspect! They pour through the Women's Weekly Cake Book trying to find the one that is just right for them. I just love it!
My (now!) 3 year old son is currently obsessed with Tigers. He loves visiting them at the Zoo and (unfortunately!) he also loves the AFL team too! So, of course, he set hubby and I the task of making a "tiger Birfday cake cake"! The one in the Women's Weekly looked a little scary for our liking! We used the shape template from the book, but made the face up as we went! What do you think? He looks like he approves!
My eldest son, now 5, is absolutely obsessed with Lego right now. He loves everything about it! So of course he decided he wanted a Lego themed Birthday this year.
We held his Birthday party at the Lego Centre (or the Lego Shop as he calls it!). He had his gorgeous friends there to help him celebrate his very special day. He beamed with happiness the whole time. I had a tear in my eye watching him!
Of course he set us the task of a Lego Birthday cake. Hmmmm, we thought! Then the lovely Cat from Raspberry Rainbow stepped in. She lent me a Lego mould which was perfect for the cake!! Thanks so much Cat! Unfortunately, we had to take the little man to Emergency on the night before his Birthday with an asthma attack. So, his cake wasn't what we had planned (ran out of time!). However, he was happy with what we managed to piece together at midnight!!
Happy Birthday beautiful boys, I love you! Soon we will be celebrating my little, little man's 1st Birthday.....
The tiger and lego cakes are fantastic! Not bad (ie. brilliant!) for midnight last minute changes! Your boys both look so happy and that's the whole point isn't it?! Hope the asthma is now Ok - how scary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you all! Your boys look very happy with their cakes :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your big boys asthma has cleared up.
It was my pleasure to help with the lego mould :)

Happy Birthday to you all! Love all the cakes, I do ones from the Womens Weekly Cookbook too. My boys love flicking through and picking one out.xx
ReplyDeleteI have such great memories of picking out my birthday cake from the Womens Weekly Cookbook when we were kids, and it's fun watching Eloise do the same now. Having said that, I'm so impressed that you are doing the making - this is still my Mum's responsibility! I'm afraid that if it was left to me it would only end in tears (mine) and an emergency trip to the local cake shop (for my husband)! Kate x
ReplyDeleteWe all had so much fun. xxx
