We celebrated his birthday with family the weekend before his birthday, I decided I was going to try to make a fun cake for his birthday. I have to say that for my first "fancy" cake, I did pretty well. Here are my supplies, yellow cake, chocolate and vanilla frosting, and construction vehicles.
I did half vanilla and half chocolate because Dylan isn't a fan of chocolate, but Miles sure is! Here is layer one.
Here is the top layer, half chocolate for dirt, half green for grass, and a grey strip for a road.
I took a fork and (for lack of a better/professional term) picked at the frosting to create grass.
Then came the trucks and crushed up Oreos for rocks. I was pretty happy with the outcome, as was my most important critic....Miles.
A little cuteness for you!
Miles with his cousin Megan, funny how smitten he is with older girls!
See what I mean!
This was Miles FAVORITE present, Thanks to help from some friends, we were able to get Miles a train table for his birthday, it has been a big hit and continues to be so. We look forward to adding some more fun stuff to it!
Okay, so here is the finished product of the cake. I do love it!
Wouldn't you know it, Miles figured out how to blow out a candle after his birthday....oh well maybe next year!
Despite the look on his face, he did really like his cake, especially the frosting!
Then Miles was able to end the day driving the vehicles back into the yard, probably his favorite part of his day!
Here is my toddler September 15th 2011. We went to dinner with Gramma and Papi at the Windjammer for Miles' birthday and brought cupcakes with us to enjoy. He had a wonderful birthday and is an amazing 2 year old boy. We are looking forward watching him grow this next year!
