Felicity informed me that yesterday’s photo was kind of weird. Those were not her words, exactly. What she did say was, “Um…why did you choose that picture for a birthday post?”
Ah, sweet insecurity.
Here, then, is another shot of the birthday boy. This is not his “official” cake so you can stop laughing now. His godmother, who does amazing cakes like this one:
and this one:
and who is coming with her family on Sunday to celebrate, is making his real birthday cake.
(She offered! Honest! I swear I didn’t even ask.)
(Honest.)
Meanwhile, there are sisters like Cate…
…who love their little brother dearly and who also, furthermore, absolutely love to bake—so much so, that they prompt their father to say things like, “You know what? I’m just going to go ahead and get that 50-pound bag of flour at Sam’s Club.”
And in any case, there are worst things than having two cakes for one’s birthday.
Sugar shock, maybe?
But that’s about it.
I thought the top cake was pretty darn good lookin'. You use what you have on hand, IMHO!!
I LOVED the previous photo. It expresses the 3 year old character perfectly. I know, I have a 3 year old. I am also in shock about this. I don't quite know how he got to be 3 without my approval. AND, I think birthday boy looks quite pleased with his Toy Story cake. It does look rather tasty! What a lucky little brother.
For an "unofficial" cake it looks very yummy eh!
Excellent job, Cate! And two cakes on your birthday is totally allowed! Just ask Mr. Sean about his two cakes last year. And if one of my children's godmothers made cakes like that, I'd be begging her to make one for the party!
In Cate's defense, Miss Charlotte, she merely baked the cake. Her mom's the one with the slapdash decorating approach.
(I like the way that Woody is leaning over to sniff the beeswax.)
Aw he is so cute! And I think he would be happy with any cake his mommy or family made him! Precious!
