3rd Birthday

For my sons 3rd birthday we did a whole lot of celebrating. First we went to the boardwalk and he rode his first rollercoaster (he didn't enjoy it too much) and then went to the Grandparents house and had pizza and cake. I didn't go too elabrate on this cake but he enjoyed it all the same and really that's all that matters.

Then we went to an Oakland Athletics game with some friends and enjoyed some baseball, sunshine, good company and cupcakes. I was going for a jersey look with the name and number. This was my pre-decorating supplies days so I used plastic storage bags with a corner snipped off for all the decorating worked great for me.



Zebra Birthday Cake

My sister is a big fan of zebra stripes. So for her birthday I made her a zebra striped cake. Now this was before I had any cake decorating supplies so the end result was cute but not to my full satisfaction. I didn't roll the black fondant out thin enough, so the stripes came out a little thick. The bow was a little floppy too. Which is fine but not the look i was going for. I know I'm my own worse critic, but it's how I learn for the next cake.
