More often than not, I end up making birthday cakes. Since I have five kids of my own, there's always a birthday happening for one of them. In addition to my own brood, a few of my friends are repeat customers for their children's birthdays, too.
Here are a handful of the birthday cakes I've worked on lately:
 |
| A turtle cake for our neighbor's grandson.... |
 |
| with turtle cupcakes to match! |
 |
| My dad's 60th birthday cake... |
 |
| ...with cupcakes showing all the ways to celebrate him. |
 |
| Good friends have a daughter who looks just like Merida from Brave. People weren't sure if this cake was Merida or Mary. It was a toss-up. |
 |
| Mary's brother, wanted a Pokemon cake |
 |
| My oldest just turned 9. He's a huge Celtics fan! |
 |
| My youngest just turned 2. I asked her what kind of cake she wanted. She said, "My favorite color {yellow}. With a dog. And hearts." It's always nice to have someone be very specific about their design! |
We've passed most of the family and friend birthdays for the year, but the holidays are coming. I'm sure there'll be a cake or two involved there.
