How cool is that?

That's a cool cake!

And I really like the idea behind it. My best friend did not consistently have birthday parties for her oldest children, because her parents never had them for her. One of the things I like about her boyfriend is that he makes sure their birthdays are recognized now.

<3 the little silhouettes. how did you make/find those?

Clip art turns out to be GREAT for this sort of thing!

You find what you want on the 'net, reduce or enlarge it as needed, then put wax or parchment paper on top, trace with frosting, and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Peel off on cake.

Now you know my secrets ;)

I got tears in my eyes when I saw the pictures of the cake you made. I didn't have birthday parties as a kid, so it brought up some sadness for me.

I wonder if there's a program in Seattle like the one you're involved with, where I can make birthday cakes for foster kids? I'm definitely checking that out. And thank you for what you're doing!

If there isn't one, consider creating it! It really just takes an organizer to find the volunteers, and a sister-organization (there is probably something like CASA there), and some do-gooder cake-makers!

And ((hugs)) to little you, if you'd like them, for not having birthday parties!
