Okay the spectacular is as in “Spectacular Spiderman.”  I am not sure the cake qualifies as spectacular but the kids and I had a lot of fun making it.  Yes, I let my kids help make their birthday cakes.  My parents always let us make our own birthday cakes.  I remember always having fun with that so I am passing along the tradition.

This cake actually took me almost two days to make believe it or not.  There are several layers of cake here so I made all the cakes the night before and then set out to decorate it the next day.  I can’t say it is perfect but I was pretty happy with it just the same.  I made everything red, white, and blue since Brandon’s birthday is on 4th of July.  He was supposed to have matching spider-web cupcakes to go with it but that didn’t happen.  By the time I got done with the cake, frosted all the cupcakes and started to mess with decorating them, I was tired.  So, I just decided the heck with it the cake was good enough.

Here is his Spiderman cake and I also made him a Spectacular Spiderman scrapbook page to go with!

It is so funny because Lyndsey was not happy.  She kept insisting that it was her birthday too.  I couldn’t get the message through to her.  Brandon finally tells her it is my birthday cake.  Brats don’t have birthday cakes.  I admit it made me chuckle.
Happy sixth birthday baby!
