Travis has really been into Star Wars this past year so we decided to make an R2D2 cake this year.
Beginning stages- ready for the final coat of frostingAfter several hours of work- getting the frosting colors just right, taking breaks to re-cool the frosting because my kitchen was apparently too hot, piping the frosting onto the cake and making a GIANT mess of my kitchen- I think we got it right....
Ta Da! Meet the newst member of the family! (until he was devoured after the photo shoot)
It was fun for me to make this for Travis and he loved it! I do love making fun cakes even thought it takes me FOREVER and I am not very skilled. (One of my favorite shows is Ace of Cakes on food network- they make the most fun cakes!)
Overall, Travis had a great birthday! We had a fun family party and he was excited to get a couple of presents! He is a very sweet boy and a wonderful big brother!
Happy Birthday Travis! We love you so much!

That's an awesome cake! I admire Moms who make their kids cool cakes... maybe one year I will try it!
Just saw your blog link on Kirsten's blog. Mike and I had no idea you'd had another baby. We'd been wondering why you hadn't been up to this part of Idaho and looked us up. I guess now we know why! Congrats on Thomas and Congrats to Travis on his b-day. That's an amazing cake!
Hi Mike and Chenoa! Thanks for leaving a comment! How are you guys? And the baby? We'd love to hear what you've been doing- can you send us an invite to your blog? our email is ldtmallen@cox.net
