Okay, Pictorial blog today. Have a son who turned 15 this week, and Saturday was the birthday party.
Here in the family I make cakes with themes that the kids choose. Been a lot of interesting themes, which I blogged about previously, but this time the boy didn’t have an idea, so left it up to me:
This is a cruise ship cake. A reminder of the cruise he will be going on with the North Kansas City High School vocal music department for their spring break in March. It is a very stylized cake, since I wasn’t up to those multi-layered cakes, or making a lot of portals for ship windows on a cake. It has the name of his cruise ship and music notes for the group he is going with.
He also got one special gift: one of these hex bugs, or whatever they are called. We all had a lot of fun watching it scurry across the floor.
Then of course there was the usual candle blowing ceremony, and the playing and talking with family and friends.
It really makes all that house-cleaning worthwhile, if time-consuming.
