My son’s 3rd birthday is coming up in April, and I’m getting onto planning it (just enough) so I can order a cake 🙂
When the kids were born, I decided that it was right and fitting to handmake a cake for them for each birthday, because mums care and that’s what you do. So I duly made the first cake for my son for his first birthday. It wasn’t too bad.. I wasn’t unhappy with the effort or the result.
But I’ve bought every cake since. For him AND his sister. Lol. Life’s too short. So much for good intentions, right?
His second birthday was a gorgeous train make for me by Hope at the Mad Batter Cakery in Tauranga. I’ve ordered cakes from her since, too, as they just taste so good!
So. With that in mind, I’ve headed over to Pinterest to have a look-see at what the amazing creative cake-makers of the world have come up with. These are some of my favourite ideas for my three (going on 13) year old Little Man…
I’m thinking I’m loving the dinosaurs.. and I gave him the choice of diggers, pirates, planes or dinosaurs and he picked that – so I’m stoked! (Ok, so I may have rigged it a bit.. if you give my son a choice, he currently chooses the last or second option.. so I may have said dinosaurs last and made it sound super exciting to tip the scales 🙂 Is that bad?? ha..)
So. Dino Party it is for Mr 3! Will keep you posted! 🙂

All those cakes look amazing! I’ve always had cakes made for my daughter’s birthday and she was 8 in January. We have had Frozen, Princess Tiana, and the most recent one was Charlie and the chocolate factory themed which was a lot of fun 😊 I think the dinosaurs look fab and good on you for rigging it a bit 😉

Haha thanks for the support – not very grass roots of me, I know, but gee, it sure takes the stress out of the day before! I can hang with my kids and enjoy doing what I really enjoy – decorating and activities! hehe

The monster cake is really cute but the Dino’s are over the top! I did the opposite, bought the first birthday cake and have made one myself each year since! 😂

Yes that dino one with all the leaves and mushrooms – oh my! Very cool, but yes, very busy! I’ve decided on one with just one cute dinosaur on top, with chocolate drippings down the side as if he’s sitting in mud – much simpler!! 🙂 Will have to put up a pic once it’s done 🙂
