We've had trains, and treasure islands, butterflies and caterpillers. As of last year I declared "No more!" I found a fab choc cake that will be the family-do b'day cake and if it's a party year I'll do the number of their age and decorate with whatever they want - last year it was a 6, with bright yellow icing and decorated with Star Wars figures because that's what the wee man chose. My birthday cake headaches are gone!Red Dirt Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14659525164389759979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-58889530927831763532009-01-15T12:47:00.000-05:002009-01-15T12:47:00.000-05:00I have only made them for the "family only" celebr...I have only made them for the "family only" celebration, not the big party, so usually a 9 x 13 cake. <BR/><BR/>P.S.

But I have had to modify all of my recipes to fit them. My latest cake was a Kung-Fu Panda cake for ym son's birthday with bamboo outlining the edges and Po in the middle. Such fun!M Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093811681801973623noreply@blogger.com
