Jacob, for your birthday do you want cupcakes or cake?
Cake!
Anything special on it?
Um...frosting. A frosting cake!
Right. Frosting. Anything else?
Oh! Barney! Like Hannah had for her birthday.
Think, think, think...how do I get him to change his mind without having to explain that the chances of me making him a Barney cake are pretty much, oh...nil.
Hannah's birthday was her first birthday so she had a baby type birthday cake...how about maybe something else that you like?
A Robot!
Oh, Sweet Lord. Really? A robot cake?
Yeah! And use the Force!
I'm gonna need to use something to pull this one off.
So last night there I was...baking a cake, wrapping presents and trolling the interwebz in search of a Plan for a cake. In the end I settled on simplistic.
Jacob had no idea that this cake was created. As I laid the piping bag down I decided that everything else I've done for this party can be a complete and total disaster. The new pool could have a rip in it (it wouldn't have if I hadn't been quite so aggressive with the air compressor). The sky could bust loose and dump a summer thunder storm on us (it didn't--we enjoyed a beautiful non-humid evening). The rest of the food could taste like sawdust (not quite, but it was eatable). I really didn't care. Because my son had The Coolest Cake--ever--for his 4th birthday.
I think they liked it.

That is is pretty cool cake! You used the force, lol.
Now that's what I call a cake! My hubby is a HUGE Star Wars fan and would freak if he was given a cake like that, so it's not just for 4 year olds.
My son will be 4 next year, so I guess we'll see!
You have quite an artistic talent for cake decorating and I think that even George Lucas would be proud with how well you depicted R2D2.
P.S. That's beyond awesome that your son told you to use the force while making a cake. Classic.
GREAT CAKE! and from the sounds of it, the rest of the party was a good succes as well! good for you :-)
You used the Force, for sure, great cake. It sounds like it was a fun party.
Happy Birthday Jacob!
Fantastic cake, Dori!
The party looks fab, summer birthday parties in the garden, who could want more?!
The Force is strong in this one.
