Yes, I realize it has been 6 months, but I wanted to recognize Logan with his 4th birthday blog. We/he chose a Cars - the Movie theme. I bought some red fondant from a cake decorating store (I say "some" -- it was a huge bucket) and I already owned a car-shaped cake 3D cake pan. I baked the cake two nights before and got to work decorating the night before the party. I'm going to have to start taking more time off work for birthdays if I'm going to continue making the cakes. I was probably up until 3:00 am or later with this one...it's not so much the decorating, but all of the cleanup. Anyway, I thought that Lightning McQueen was my best effort yet, and I really had fun with him.
The wheels are chocolate donuts.
Of course, Logan was the true test. He LOVED the cake. In fact, he patiently stood guard over that cake for well over 30 minutes while we waited for all the guests to arrive. So cute.
The kids played pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, and Logan's tail was perfectly placed.
Way to go, birthday boy!

I still remember the cakes that Mama made for my birthdays. You are creating real memories for your boys. I love the picture of Logan "guarding" his cake!
Love,
Timmy
