Birthday Cakes

All of our kids have summer birthdays. We get to celebrate a birthday, then a week later celebrate another birthday, and then have a month off and then celebrate two more birthday's within a week and a half.

My favorite thing to do for the kids birthday's is to make them a cake. Now I am no professional. The cakes are flawed in many ways, but it is perhaps the most creative I am during the entire year when I make cakes for my kids birthday's.

Here is my gallery of cakes that were made this year for birthdays. Alyssa and Ashley each got two cakes- a family cake on their birthday and a birthday party cake. Alex with his birthday falling on the first day of school- had a store bought cake for the family party, so I can't take credit for that one, and Angela had her party on her actual birthday, so just had one cake.
