Now, if you've been with me for a while you'll recall that my first attempt at making a very cool kids' birthday cake happened this spring, in celebration of Theo's 3rd year. It was a snake, and it was pretty great. I was inspired by my sister Jessica, who had made him a lion the year before and whose cake-making repertoire includes a dinosaur, a pirate's hat, a bathtub full of rubber duckies... (what am I missing??)
Now, when my sister-in-law's children Abby and Sam saw the snake I had made for Theo, they were both bound and determined to have their own fancy birthday cake. Enter: Wendy's adorable fish bowl.
A couple of weeks later we headed to Jessica's house for Lucy's birthday celebration. This ballerina cake has to be her most incredible creation thus far. Complete with a fluffy-cotton- candy-tu-tu! I mean, come on!! She's set the bar pretty high... Sam's birthday is up next, and I can't wait to see what Wendy comes up with.
I have to include a few photos from both parties. First, Theo, Emmett, and their S family cousins and friends at Abby's bash.
Next, Theo, Lucy, and her friend Lydia dove into Lucy's birthday present from her parents: a bag full of princess clothes found on Craigslist!!
And, Nora wanted to dress up, too...
And, finally, my Emmett. Just eating cake.

unless we know bachelor paul, i don't think i like him commenting on your blog about our young children.....
oh, and i'm seriously impressed by the fishbowl.
love the cakes. i haven't done any creative cake baking since i lived in madison. not sure if we have access to all the ingredients. i'll have to show ella the ballerina cake. she loves everything pink, fluffy and 'rina...
oh, and i agree. fishbowl - totally cool.
my paul is married so it wasn't him. I think Jessica's repertoire includes some other dandies, but I can't think of them. Jessica???
These cakes are amazing! I'm totally going to use them next season of the Katie Brown Workshop!
