Birthday Cakes

May 29, 2010

I don’t think I shared Katelyn’s birthday party cake from Aug. She had a “Hula by the Pool-a” birthday party. So the theme was hula dancers and she wanted a pool cake. She drew a sketch of what she wanted and it was my job to turn that into a cake! Here’s the final result:

Madison’s birthday was in May and she wanted Snoopy. We took the girls to Chuck E Cheese-its (as Madison happens to call it) and had fun with them there. We came home and had cake and ice cream. Since school got out a couple of weeks before her birthday, I did a party for her class too. It’s hard to find Snoopy stuff for parties. I called all over town and nobody had plates or anything. I ended up ordering some off of Amazon along with these rings:

I put them on top of the cupcakes I took to school. They were a hit with the preschool crowd. Then for her birthday cake, she wanted chocolate icing. I was having a hard time figuring out how to do Snoopy with chocolate. I ended up doing chocolate between the layers and on the side of the cake. The top was vanilla. I added some pink where they met on top of the cake. She was thrilled with the cake…even the lopsided writing.
