What Kind of Cake Do You Want?

Today was Toby's 11th birthday! (I know, I can't believe it either!) He is really starting to grow up. He started off the day with breakfast in bed ( a tradition that I question the sanity of starting when it's 6:30 in the morning). Of course that's the best way to begin your special day. Toby got to have his friend come to play and spend the night.

Erika called to talk to Toby today and asked him what kind of cake he was going to have for his birthday. And laughing Toby told her that he was having a crab cake. When Erika got back on the phone with me she told me that she didn't get why Toby thought that was so funny. Well, if you know Toby, his favorite food is crab, in any form. When I asked him a couple of weeks ago what cake he wanted he told me crabcakes. (He seriously just wanted crabcakes (made from crab) instead of a cake that looked like a crab.) So when he talked to Erika he was laughing at the play on words.

Well, crazy mother that I am, I agreed to both kinds of crabcake and spent the whole day decorating a cake and then making gourmet crabcakes and pork chops for the birthday boy. You only get that kind of special treatment on your special day!


Toby designed the crab shaped cake including the idea for blueberry eyeballs!

On a side note: Hazel loved the crab cakes. She would take a bite and say "Mmmmmmmm" She also loved the birthday cake.
