I made a two-layer yellow cake with cream cheese frosting tinted blue. I like everything on my cake to be edible, so I used sour apple strips trimmed to look like plants, peach jelly bellys and watermelon nerds candy for the rocks, and assorted sweedish fish for my sea life.
On the top, I wrote Happy Birthday and ringed it with some circling shark fins cut out from purple fruit slices. They had a blue rind (sort of looked like purple and blue half orange slices) which I trimmed off.
We even had a lobster, among other things, including starfish, sea horses, blow fish, and a wiggly, giggly octopus.
Elliott has been through so much in his short life, including being born with club feet, wearing casts, braces, and having lots of physical therepy, and eventually surgery at the Shriner's Hospital. He's doing so well now, and he's such a happy, lively, thoughtful boy, my heart warms over every time I look at his precious, freckled face. I love my boy! Happy Birthday, darling Elliott. Mama loves you so dearly.
Your cake is super cute! Happy Birthday to Elliot! My daughter is headed to Shriners today as a matter of fact......she has cerebral palsy and displaced hips....so off to get X-rays. : )
ReplyDeleteMichelle, my thoughts and prayers go with you. I hope your daughter will receive the helps she needs and the care she deserves. I cannot say enough good things about the Shriners. It's a wonderful place, and the doctors and nurses are such lovely, caring people.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you and your family!
