Happy 9th Birthday Monkey Boy
The kids and me
Over the weekend we celebrate Monkey boy’s 9th birthday. This year I didn’t get around to making him a 3D Formula One car as he requested as I didn’t have the time to get all the necessary ingredients. I decided on doing a chocolate cake with a variety of different chocolates for him.
The cake close up
I used biscuit sticks to represent the different lanes and Kinder Bueno white chocolate to represent the cars. I used buttercream to decorate the top of the cake and piped in stars all around. Monkey boy’s name was also written by using butter cream. The kids love M & M chocolate and they were use to decorate the side of the cake. I threw coloured sprinkles on the top to jazz up the cake and make it more colourful. It was a 3 hour effort baking and decorating the cake in between Swimming and Sunday school lesson.
Getting ready to blow out the candle
The kids took turn blowing out the candle as all of them loved seeing the fire being extinguished as they blow. I guess all kids love this the most during the cake cutting session. All three of them couldn’t wait to blow out the candle. It would have been great if I bought the candles that would automatically relight by themselves like the ones I used for Doggie boy’s birthday last year. It would certainly save me the hassle of having to manually relight the candle more then six times!!
After the candle was finally blown up each of them started attacking the “cars” and wolfed down the chocolates and biscuit sticks even before I could take the cake away to be cut up properly.
What types of cakes do you have for your kids birthdays?

Happy Birthday–That cake is very cute—I’ve tried a few cakes for my little one, didn’t turn out so well-Daughter requested cupcakes for her last birthday and our son gets a bakery cake =}

@Amie.
You just have to get started.. never a better time then now to try 😛
March 6, 2013 @ 8:45 am
Nice colored cake! What coloring did you use? I like the deco. Kow tow to you to decorate the cake in between swimming and Sunday school lesson. Disruption in between
Why did u relight the candle 6 times? Luckily it’s just 1 candle, not 9
Is your hubby the photographer that he isn’t in the picture?
March 6, 2013 @ 10:48 am
Shook,
I used bright red coloring so it comes out a bit of pink/orangy:)
The kids wanted to blow the candle it and it went off a few times as it was quite windy at my mum’s place. 🙂
Yup. HB was taking the pic 🙂
March 6, 2013 @ 1:15 pm
Is it the liquid food coloring from supermarket?

That custom birthday cake is gorgeous! Well done. Happy b-day to Monkey Boy. My youngest turns nine this summer! Have a great week!

Nothing better than a homemade cake to show love. And who wouldn’t dive in without it being cut. Our mom loves twizlers and says she would have used those for her lane lines; though, she probably would have eaten them all before they ever got on the cake. Happy ninth birthday to Monkey Boy.
