Poor Sugarplum, in 3 years, has not yet had an actual birthday cake.\u00a0 Since Honeybun’s birthday is only a few weeks before, we are usually not ready for another cake so soon!\u00a0 I always make their cakes rather than buying one (though I do use boxed mix and sometimes canned frosting).<\/p>\n
