Charlie's birthday landed during a blizzard this year (same as last year, I believe) and also over MLK Jr. Day, so we got a nice 4-day weekend to celebrate (and recuperate). We threw together a last minute party with some of the neighborhood boys and cousins, which was good because we needed help eating his huge cake.
He decided he wanted the castle cake that Elena had for her 9th birthday. I didn't have the exact right size pans so we had to improvise and it turned out a little lopsided, but he had fun decorating it and everyone enjoyed eating it so it was a success. The main drawback was that between cooling and layering and needing to run to the store for a missing ingredient and the baby and Frank....it took a total of 9 hours from start to finish to make.
Here's a picture of his cake. We had made it the day before and gravity was starting to work a number on the turrets ;)
