I am a big believer in "equal isn't always fair" when it comes to raising children. Just because one method works for child A doesn't mean it is the best method for child B. Well, there are a few times when this isn't the case. Case in point - the first birthday cake. Since the whole reason we have a first birthday party is to put a cake in front of the baby and stand around and watch them eat it, the cute cake seems to be a pivotal part of the celebration. We decorated B's first birthday cake. After the SEVERAL hour project was complete (John Deer Tractor Cake & sheet cake that looked like a farm), we vowed that we wouldn't be decorating any more (unless we had another child). Enter baby G. So, the birthday party approached and we set out to create another set of themed cakes. We went with the kinder, gentler jungle theme. I worked on the savanna sheet cake while Todd took the Giraffe. Mostly the savanna was dirt brown with cute plastic animals, trees and shrubs. Yes, I took the easy one. Todd is more patient, is more of a perfectionist and just better in the kitchen.
And the best part was the fact that G was pretty delighted by the whole thing.
