Now, my allergy boy is turning two this week. His allergies, bring a whole new dimension, to the birthday party planning.
I love having parties, I especially love celebrating the kids birthday's with friends and family. What I usually love to do is buy a beautiful bakery cake. That is not part of the plan this year.
I have no problems baking a cake, in fact I have a few yummy recipes. My problem, is the frosting, and the decorating of the cake. I can make a great butter cream frosting, however it never quite looks that great (to me anyway) when I top the cake.
Not to mention, it is his 2nd birthday, and he is partial to a certain character. I am not very artistic at all. In my mind, I think I can do it, and then it just does not come out the way I had envisioned.
For the safety of my son, I am going to attempt it anyway. He really wants a choo choo cake. I have a great idea. I can't wait to see how it comes out. I am going to practice with the frosting in the next couple of days. I really do not want to get stuck Friday, with everyone coming over and not have a cake to sing Happy Birthday with.
I will keep you posted, and I pray, I will have pictures nice enough, to want to share.
good luck with the cake, I know whatever way it turns out, your little birthday boy will LOVE it. You are lucky knowing how to bake already, for me, I had no clue, so I tried to make the cake that has a smooth surface for me to paint. I decorated it with the cookie frosting pen, here it is - don't laugh, but will give you some ideas and/or some confidence that you will be just fine. Gosh, things we do for our kids.
