Can you ever have TOO MUCH BIRTHDAY CAKE?!?!?
Well……..yes you can!
During Springtime, all 6 of the boys at our home have a birthday. We’ve all gotten to the point where we are not big cake fans. I must admit that there is always room for a Costco cake but most cake sits in our fridge for a few days before I throw it away.
When you’re born in a big family you’ve got to get the sweets quick or you’re left out because anything with sugar in it is gone by sundown. I feel so wasteful if I have to toss a perfectly good cake, so I try to be creative with everyone’s birthday cakes.

DX started us out this year in February:
BROWNIE PIZZA



DY is the middle child in a big family so when no one is going to be home on his birthday night because of crazy schedules we have breakfast ‘cake’:
DOUGHNUT PYRAMID
In March, our oldest (gotta love the fake tattoo) wanted:
CHEESECAKE (His mother is training him well!)
The head of our home loves:
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
H is easy to please and in April wanted:
GRAHAM CRACKER SURPRISE
That lead us to this little guy, our soon to be 3 year old.
His birthday is in a few days. I know he would love a character cake. He said he wants cupcakes. He's young and loves anything with sugar so it would be easy to talk him into whatever type of dessert we can all handle. Maybe an ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery? Remember we are not big cake fans. We should get him what HE wants, but I don't want it to be something we toss a few days later because no one will eat it.



This is where I need suggestions from the peanut gallery.
Anyone?……Anyone?…….Bueller?……..Bueller?……..

By the way…..how do you get a teenage boy to smile so big? You mention a certain cute teenage girls name. ;)
