[...] combined with a store-bought cake and the fact that I ONLY invited the kids from across the street rather than have 73 two-year-olds [...]

LOL – I’m the opposite. I just made my very first birthday cake from scratch last month after 8 years x 3 kids of store-ordered ones.

I have been making my kids for the past few years, not to say I havent ordered one, but it makes for a great memory of moms homemade cakes. Great Cakes by the way

Loved reading this. Mom of three under age 8. I finally have caved on the cake making Made my youngest his 2 year old b-day cake last year. This year ordered him some spiderman cupcakes from SAMS. They were delicious. And I didn’t have to get all scary and swearing in the kitchen for hours, literally before the party. Guess what else I caved on? We had the party at fricking Chuck E. Cheese. It was awesome, Jack was in heaven. And I didn’t have to clean my house and make up games. Why can’t we figure this stuff out with the first kid? WHY?

I know the feeling. I gave in and bought a cake for my son's last birthday because I was too tired with my 1 month old to make his cake. We have a tradition, though, and it ensured that even the store bought cake was decorated a bit at home. Blueberries were on sale, so we bought a big thing of them and he got to put blueberries all over his birthday cake. We've done that for every cake so far. They're his favorite fruit and rarely at a reasonable price. At $3 for 18 oz of blueberries it gets really hard to resist, and I miss them every time the price goes back up. That said, I'm going to be making the cake for my oldest daughter's birthday coming up soon. Thank goodness she wants something I already have a mold for - a butterfly cake. My decorating skills aren't anything special, but I always have the kids help. Makes it messier but more fun. Stephanie´s lastest post..Professional Home Organizer - Weekly Home Business Idea

I think what she will remember, if they remember anything about those early birthdays, is your smiling face as you place the cake and candles before her! mep´s lastest post..What's the name of the game?

Okay, your cakes are BEAUTIFUL… seriously, you should see mine! Ha! I think I’m going to switch to cupcakes from now on though. It’s just so much less pressure.
