Rainbow Birthday Cake

Check out what I might attempt for my son's first birthday...



Via this cool blog. Thanks cool blog!

I might get really ambitious and make my own white cake and some sort of frosting. Cream cheese? Any suggestions? Please keep in mind this will be my son's first taste of sugar...

Is it wrong that I can't wait? I want him to know and love, like I do, the joy that is sugar.

  1. My mouth is watering already. Yum. Cake. You maybe should make it with breastmilk if you make from scratch. Just sayin'.

  4. that is so so SO cool!!! I showed it to my daughter and she now wants it for her birthday. That's in Nov, I'm pretty sure we'll have to make a test run before then!

    Oh and cream cheese icing would be delish - or a fluffy 7 min frosting would be good too. :)

  6. Gretchen, I am laughing my evil laugh at your internet scold right now. :) I can't stop giggling. Clearly I am not losing my lack of maturity with age.

    My vote is buttercream, of course.

    Cream cheese frosting is a must!

  9. Love this! Super cute. Might have to try it in two weeks for my daughter's fifth - under the icing decorated with fairies, OMG.

    I have to go against the grain and say buttercream, though. I could eat that stuff all day long.
