This year I will admit I struggled a good bit with inspiration for the big birthday cakes. Having an older child now, I so enjoy his input and ideas...he generally picks what he wants. With two little ones, you are left to do all the choosing and I guess choosing two all at once can be a bit overwhelming (especially if you are the one who has to decorate them!). Finally inspiration came late in the week last week and I was able to come up with an idea that seemed to suit my very limited (and lacking) cake decorating skills. This simply involved tracing a picture with icing and I really thought I could do that if I put my mind to it!
It took a full weekend to accomplish it...doing the designs and freezing them one day and then baking the cakes and finishing them off on another, but overall I am happy with the results! My kitchen is totally trashed....but the cakes sure are cute!
