Birthday cakes

Somebody brought cupcakes at work the other day and one of my friend was trying to get me to split one with her but I resisted because it was Valentimes day and that I was planning on baking for dinner. Anyways it got me to think about the birthday cakes I made for my kids birthday....

Miles 1st Birthday Monkey with chocolate cake and an orange cake.

Miles 2nd Birthday Chocolate Cake which was only good but really not cute hey I was pregnant ; ) There wasn't even enough of it hehehe pretty pathetic

Miles 3rd Birthday Sheep cupcake with a base of chocolate molten cake. Those were probably really good but also very long to make. I did them between 9pm and 11pm in front of the TV I had to make like 15 of them for all the little monkeys in his class...

Then for his birthday I wanted to make a buzzlighter cake but of course I started the cake about an hour before the party and decided to make a chocolate cake my favorite and just decorate it a little....

Maia 1st Birthday a pretty flower Chocolate Cake I made matching invitation that I painted... pretty insane especially because I tend to do that around 10pm a week before the party hehehe but I'm an overworked mama what do you expect.

So you will notice that all my cake are the same chocolate cake basically a chocolate mousse with butter and a little flour. I don't make my icing although I'm not too proud of that but it is just too much and now I have to start thinking about the next two. My son's birthday is coming up... Maybe a space shuttle.... with a base of .... chocolate cake
