okay, so technically you didn't ask but I'm going to tell you anyways.
ahem. i was raised and i firmly believe that birthdays are a big deal. you are celebrating a loved ones life! this is not a "pick up a cake while at wal-mart'' kinda holiday in my family. (err, well technically there are zero holidays that warrant a store bought cake in my family but that's another post). this is an occasion to come up with a birthday theme, and make a cake to go along with it. i'm almost 25 years old, and every one of my cakes was lovingly and
i for one, am continuing the tradition with my kids. i will not buy them a store bought cake. does this mean that my mom is automatically commandeered to help? yep, but I think she likes it ;)
so the first decision that i have to make is what theme? now with bubba that was easy because he is so vocal about what he likes. i asked what kinda cake he wanted for his birthday, he replied ''cars''. so a Cars cake it was. but pooks? well i asked him what kinda cake he wanted and he replied ''blue''. err...okay? well i took matters into my own hands and chose a pirate theme.
okay so now to find a pirate cake to make at home. after scouring google images for a few hours, i decided on this . it's cutesy pirate, not scary pirate. i thought about a treasure chest but pooks doesn't really get what that is. when my kids see an eye patch they think pirate. so this cake pan will be perfect.
okay so i chose a theme, i chose a cake pan. heck i even chose and purchased a few decorations. (btw i did NOT pay that much, i went to party america and it was way cheaper). so lastly i needed to make invitations.
that's right, you read that correctly. i said make the invitations. now if i'm not buying the cake, why would i buy pre-made invites? i can honestly say that the homemade cake thing, that's my mama's
did you know that if you google ''how to talk like a pirate" there are websites that will teach you? matey's ye 'oughta check it out!
