Domestic Family Dining: Birthday Cakes

Birthday Cakes

This past weekend, Dash celebrated his birthday (which is actually later this month on the 24th) with four friends. They had a bowling party and had a great time. Party-goers were asked to bring a donation for either Adopt-a-pet or the Cathedral of St. Mary Altar Servers.

I decorated a cake for the boys. It's not professional, but do boys care??? I usually 'do' a cake like this, or one that requires more decorating, at least every couple years. It reminds me why I'm not a professional cake decorator and reminds me that I should appreciate dexterity in my fingers. Even that amount of piping made my hands cramp!
