Look at that face! I think he liked it.
So for sweet boy's birthday, we made him a volcano cake with dragons climbing up the side (his idea). As an added touch, we made it actually smoke and erupt some delicious lava. It was really, really cool. Thanks to my super crafty friend Andrea for the instructions, which you can find here. It's so much easier than it looks. If you have a child in your life, find a reason to make one of these!
Check out those dragons.
Here's a video of the eruption. It is out of focus, but you still get the picture.
Since it was also a birthday party for Tiny, we made him some cupcakes that look like all different kinds of balls. He LOVES sports, especially basketball. Whenever we do art projects, he asks us to draw a basketball going into the hoop and a picture of him carrying a football. Oh, and hot air balloons, but that didn't really fit with the theme.
Ross and I had fun decorating the cakes into the wee hours of the night before the party. The volcano cake was my vision, and Ross decorated it amazingly well, don't you think? We were pretending like we were on Ace of Cakes. It's only a matter of time before Duff and his gang make an erupting volcano cake. Remember, you saw it here first! (unless they have already made one, in which case nevermind:)
