I try to make all of my kids birthday cakes, at least the last couple years. They all picked the kind of cake they wanted then I went to work.
Ali (9) wanted a High School Musical cake, this is similar to a picture of a cake she liked on the internet.
Chase (13) is really into the guitar and so of course he wanted a guitar cake. This cake was life size...it was not quite what he wanted but he seemed to be pretty happy with the final product.
Hayden (2)...of course my boy wanted Bobby! That is what he calls Spongebob. I was a litte worried he would be upset when we cut into his Bobby cake but he was ready to eat, so he wasn't the least bit upset we cut his bobby cake.
I do like to bake but it is a good thing that the kids birthdays only come once a year. I have a year to plan and get ready for the next round of cakes. I tend to have to work hard to make them look good as I am nowhere close to being a pro. Its exciting to see how excited they get when they see the cakes for the first time.
