Dravyn's 2nd Birthday!

Since we live a couple of blocks from the fire station and constantly are hearing the WooWooWoo of the sirens, I thought it would be a good idea to have a fireman theme for his second birthday on April 12th.

This is Dravyn off to fight a fire and save the day.

As I was making the cake, May May suggested we let him lick the batter off the spatula, which is something I would never do because I seem to have developed a fear of laundry stains and messy children! If my children ever find out my mom let me make mud pies all the time, I am toast, but that's a whole other post... It turned out to be quite disturbing because the cake was red velvet and makes it appear that he has gotten in a bloody fight before his big day!

The cake turned out great if I do say so myself. I cheated and bought the pan, but it still takes hours to finish then minutes to devour. After 8 years and now 18 or so cakes later, one would think I've picked up a trick or two, but sadly I have not. Every time it's "I should write this down" or "next time I should buy pre-colored icing." Maybe this post will serve as a reminder for the next one coming up.

Here are my three Fire Fighters.
