There are very few things I’m committed to doing homemade all the time. But two things I promised myself to always make my kids by hand is their Halloween costumes<\/a> and their birthday cakes. Nine years in and I’ve yet to break either of those promises.<\/p>\n

My first birthday cake for Honeybun 9 years ago was a bit of a disaster. I did a gluten free recipe and it wasn’t good (at all) and the shape and decoration was pretty basic.<\/p>\n

I did a white on white cake knowing that she’d be making a huge mess of herself and I’ve done the same for each of my other kids’ first birthday cakes (though the recipes have gotten better!)<\/p>\n

But as they grew, their requests became more complicated. My first every “fancy” cake was a butterfly<\/a> for Honeybun’s 6th birthday and since then I’ve done a banana cake, an airplane,\u00a0a fish<\/a>, a bird, an elephant, a star, and even a birthday pie.<\/p>\n

So this year, when Honeybun asked for pointe shoes cake, I jumped right in. I decided to use crisped rice cereal instead of doing a regular cake because she isn’t big on cake and we were doing cupcakes a week later for her party.<\/p>\n
