THE START OF IT ALL

I have always loved baking cakes. And when my son Jack came onto the scene, it became even more fun. At first, I made the call--a lady bug cake for year 1, a train cake for year 2. But when year 3 came around, young Jack had his own ideas, very clear ideas about what HE wanted. And part of the fun came from trying to stump. his. mom. Bring it.

Year 3 was initially going to Tow Mater, but with a mischievous twinkle in his eye Jack changed his mind to Frank-the-Combine. Really?

Year 4 I was working full-time, so Jack got a store-bought cake with a cool T-Rex. Done!

Year 5 came in step with a LOVE for Lego, so a Lego-themed cake was a no brainer. What I did not expect was the birth of an awesome tradition--I present the cake and Jack takes it from there and adds his Lego touch. So FUN!

Year 6 took us to from the depths of the ocean to the top of a smoldering volcano. Of course the shark had to have under-shadowing (kids these days know too much!) and there had to be molten lava. Crushed it!

Year 7 coincided with Jack’s infatuation with ancient Egypt. You want a pyramid? Ok, sure! What? It MUST have a burial chamber beneath it!?!? You are kidding me! Well, we figured it out. And it was AWESOME! (It even had a hidden coin for each guest--a cost effective and environmentally friendly party favor!)

Year 8--a reptile theme. Ssssssuper.

Year 9—Barad-dur, a.k.a. ‘The Dark Tower’ from Lord of the Rings….sigh.

Whatever the theme, whatever the challenge, this I know to be true--I can cake ‘til I make it and somehow, with lots of love and creativity behind it, it works out deliciously well!

So if you are looking for a special cake, made with lots of love and a personal touch, please reach out and let's cake it ‘til we make it.
