And it was like deja vu - I ended up having to re-do my cake. A few years ago I took a cake decorating class at Michael's so that I could make the kids their birthday cakes. This year it was all about Star Wars, so a Death Star cake was requested. I don't know what happened to the cake - it was too crumbly and was not structurally sound. I tried to "glue" it together with frosting, but it just wasn't working. So I had to abandon it and start another cake...
Not working....
The second cake still wasn't perfect, but I was able to get it to stay together. The kids still loved it, so I guess that I shouldn't be so critical.
Death Star - rebuilt
My older son had requested no cake and just a bowl of frosting. I had a few ideas to try to make an R2D2. This is what I ended up making out of frosting:
These are not the droids you are looking for...
I think in the end we had about 25 kids ranging from 2-10 yrs old and about the same number of adults. Zach wanted to invite his whole kindergarden class (although they didn't all come) and Jake only requested inviting 2 of his friends. I wondered how Zach would act since he had a few of his girl friends there. I figured that he would just end up ignoring them all, but he actually played with them a bit.
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures at the party - I know, I feel like a bad mom, but I ended up trying to be a host and talk to all the parents at the party. I have a few I took on my phone, but that is about it. I did take a lot of pictures of them opening presents at home afterwards.
Tomorrow is his "real" birthday, so the celebration will continue. Taking mini muffins to school and then a little family dinner. Followed the next week by the same for Jake.
