10th Birthday - Fruit Cake, Pancake Cake and Minecraft!

 

Nothing makes this boy happier than a fruit cake! As it happened, his class were doing a sponsored walk to the nearby forestry park on his birthday so I drove down there to meet them to give them this cake for a wee energy boost before walking back to school! :)

 

 

What I started with!

 

The base layer

 

 

 Cake #2 - Pancakes layered with nutella

 

 

And a Minecraft Cake for his 'party' which again was just a few friends over for swimming and a movie. :) It's chocolate cake squares, Victoria sponge squares, tiffin (with no fruit) squares and rice krispie squares, and jello, also cut into squares for the water! A few toothpicks to hold it in place, and they could just help themselves to bite sized pieces - perfect!

8th Birthday Day 2 - Fruit Cake!

My son doesn't really like cake all that much, but he has always had a weakness for fruit. I saw this idea on pinterest one day while looking up his Superhero cakes and I knew he had to have one! His eyes just about popped out of his head when he saw it, and between the five of us and his visiting friend, we demolished the lot!

 

 

 

The base is a watermelon, with cantaloupe slices around it and on top of it, decorated with the berries and grapes - all attached with popsicle sticks and toothpicks! :)
