My little boy turns 4 today!
We decided to do a balloon party. Nothing too big this year. Just 248 balloons! Eli also requested a birthday cake with sprinkles.
I started last night baking a birthday cake. It didn’t turn out so I made another one. I should have taken pictures of the mess, but just threw the cakes away. I ended up making cupcakes.
I iced the cupcakes this morning and they looked pretty good to me. I asked Eli and he said they looked good, but with tears in his eyes he said he really wanted a birthday cake with sprinkles.
I couldn’t disappoint the birthday boy, so I made another one this time correcting my mistakes I made last night.
Another cake that was a disaster. But with only a few hours until the party started, I had to do something.
The only thing I could think of was to piece together the cake with icing.
I’m clearly not a baker. My 9 inch double layer cake turned into a 1 and 1/2 layer and 6 inch cake 🙂
I had to fill in a LOT of holes with icing. Then I needed to hide the icing. So stars everywhere it was.
This cake was 15lbs! It was nothing but icing. The birthday boy didn’t care. He got his birthday cake and was thrilled!
Eli was so excited for his party to start. He kept asking every 10 minutes when his guests were going to arrive.
Everyone is so good to Eli. He loved all his gifts!
Balloons everywhere!
Even down the hall.
Eli had a fantastic time and loved his birthday!
