Superhero Cake

I posted back at the beginning of May about my youngest's Superhero Training Camp Birthday Party.  Well, I'm finally getting around to scrapping some of those photos. Up first is one of my very favorite things about the party: the Superhero Cake. 


Every year I make my kids' birthday cakes.  I'm no cake artist, but I can usually find something I can do.  Finding something superhero was really tough, but I finally decided on the cake pictured above...except I can't draw, so I recruited my amazing husband to help.  I baked the cake (it was 3 multicolor layers which looked really cool when cut into), and frosted the sides.  Then my awesome husband went to work piping all of the superhero symbols on the cake freehand.  Yeah, freehand! 


We frosted it the night before my son's party, after he went to bed.  When he woke up and saw it completed, he actually gasped.  Happily, Pebbles Birthday Wishes collection landed on my doorstep about the same time as the party.  I love, love, love this collection.  I may have been audibly squealing as I unpacked the box of birthday goodness. 


Birthday Wishes is bright and fun. It's versatile enough for boys, girls, teenagers, and adults.  The patterned papers are so easy to mix and match, plus there are always the amazing embellishments that Pebbles does such a great job of.  I mean, just look at these matching Thickers:


I may just have a few more photos from the party to scrap, so Birthday Wishes will be showing up again here soon. 
Thanks for stopping by today!
