So, the whole family has taken turns being sick. I've been planning a vacation for a client. I've been getting ready for our OWN vacation. There have been TAKS tests and orthodontist appointments, errands to run and phone calls to make. I've spent a little time on Facebook. And oh yeah - Little Son had a birthday on Monday. My baby is now 12 years old!
Yes, he did make his own cake, but not because I was too busy to do it! Geez, what kind of mom do you think I am? He WANTED to make his own cake - he's into that now, you know. And since his birthday present from Bubba and Katie Lady was cake decorating supplies a-plenty, he was in hog heaven creating his masterpiece birthday cake! He designed it and everything - and I think it turned out great! What do you think?
It was quite detailed, with musical symbols and trombone stuff all over it. The top layer was chocolate, so labeled with the musical staff with the C note on it. The bottom layer was French vanilla - with a musical staff with the F note on it. The notes to the "Happy Birthday" song are really on top of the cake. All black and white - very classy! Oh - and it was deee-licious!
The real reason I haven't been blogging? I've been stuffing my face with cake all week.

Looks like he'll be interning with Duff Goldman at Charm City Cakes before you know it!
Your boy is talented. :)
I'm very impressed that a 12 year old boy could make such a beautiful creation.
Wow - he's talented!
WOW!!! That is totally awesome!! He is so talented! I love the details - the happy birthday song, the clefs corresponding to the layers, it is very cool. Almost too cool to eat. Almost.:)
When you said he wanted to be a baker/chef, you weren't kidding! Wow, I'm impressed! He did a great job!!!
Happy Birthday late!!
You all are doing something right! (Okay, you're doing lots right!)
That's just amazing! I think it's a hoot that he wanted to do his own B-day cake. Good for him!
You're gonna have to update your profile section now to say you have a 12-year-old son. Before you know it you'll say you're an empty-nester!
I'm so glad he liked it! I knew he would....
And the cake looks great!!!
I'm seeing a show on Food Network in that child's future!
Good grief that boy has talent! We will see him on TV one day.
he did a fantastic job! alot of natural skill. he can come and work with me anytime he wants!
I love his cake! It turned out so cute! Does he wanna share? I'm sure there's none left by now.
Wow - love the cake and the musical notes! That is so great that he wanted to make it. Maybe he will make cakes for your family all the time now!
We had a birthday in our family this week too. LynnMarie tuned one on Friday and on Monday she became ours when we arrived in her province of China and had our "gotcha day." Lots of pictures/videos/words at http://www.thechristopherfamily.blogspot.com
What a great looking cake! I'm sure you are just so proud of him. I would love to have a slice of it too. Happy Birthday!
Very nice! :) He did a wonderful job, and I'm sure he had fun doing it while everyone else had fun eating it. *LOL*
That is some awesome cake! I'd hate to have to cut into it! :-)
