I love birthday parties. The exciting lead up, the preparations, the smiles that seem forever glued to children's faces as they wait in anticipation for the fun to begin.
It brings warm fuzzies to my heart.
Now that my boys are older, birthday parties are nothing but a distant memory to cherish
except 16th's 18th's and 21st's of course Party games are a thing of the past, and as for mum whipping up delicious goodies, well that is off the radar to. I have been replaced with pizza, movie marathons and games of football that parents may be allowed to watch, but are definitely not invited to play :(
The one thing that I do miss about the boys birthday parties
no it's not the cleaning up is creating fabulous birthday cakes. I use to get so much pleasure from the planning, the baking and the decorating. It saddens me a little to know that it is no longer "cool" for mum to serve up these cake creations anymore.
Flipping through photos yet again for this weeks
Flashback Friday post, I came across these photos of some of the cakes that I had made for my boys over the years. At the time they were big hits, and along with photos of the cakes, there are many more photos of the boys covered head to toe in coloured icing :) but I will leave those for another time.

Happily linking in with the lovely
Cathy for another Flashback Friday
Enjoy your Friday and have a fabulous weekend :)
Very impressed at your cake skills. I tried a massive number one just the once, and have kept it simple ever since. My boys are also too old for fun parties too, and I am invited to pay for it but not to attend. Great post!
ReplyDeleteAwe thanks Ana, I really loved making these cakes for my boys. I did get to make my sons 18th cake so hopefully son number 2 will give me the ok to make his 18th cake later on this year !! Here's hoping
DeleteI'm impressed as well. I so wish I had cake decorating skills but I am hopeless! Luckily I have a cake-making sister in-law who whips up whatever my boys desire. But stilys secretly envious of people who can make their own wonderful creations! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI love a good cake decorating challenge, just wish I was still in demand and not out to pasture LOL
DeleteAwesome cakes there. As much as I love eating cakes, I hate baking them, possibly because I suck at it. Sigh. It's my son's 9th birthday next week actually, but he wants an ice cream cake. I'm sure he'd change his mind if he saw those creations!
ReplyDeleteLOL I am the opposite, love to bake them but don't eat them very often !! Hope your son has a fantastic 9th birthday, and thank you so very much for stopping by xx
DeleteWow! Okay, I used to be a big freak about The Simpsons. I love the Bart cake. You are good. Your boys will always remember the cool cakes you made them.
