Chase's Birthday - another post that never got published from ages ago ! This one is almost 5 years old! (May/2011)

Chase turned FOUR last week, and there was much discussion about what his cake should look like.
In the end, I made (well, he HELPED ME make) 2 heart-shaped layers.  No, he wasn't going to have a heart-shaped cake.....it just so happens that those are the only kind of cake pans I own!  :)

My idea was to somehow cut those layers up and construct a pirate cake, such as we'd seen in some photos.  However, the kids asked Johnny if he could come home early from work and help them frost/construct the cake.  I was all for that, since I was not all that confident in my creative abilities.  So, when Johnny showed up mid-afternoon, the fun was on!  He took a look at the layers available, and almost immediately saw great potential!

Here was the first step.  Cake #1....
And you can see the progression in the pictures.  No explanations necessary...

 





And then Cake #2....
