tonka truck birthday cake

yesterday was samuels 2nd birthday party.

today is the last day of him being 1 - how time has flown on by these last two years.

so for his birthday we had a few kidettes (3) around and some family and friends (30odd) over for a birthday morning tea. it was lovely but still exhausting! we were zonked last night!

for his birthday cake i made a tonka truck. what do you think?

i had to make 3x square cakes (2x chocolate and 1x vanilla) plus some chocolate ganache butter cream to stick the cakes together and a yellow truck butter cream frosting. using a black gel icing pen i was able to write tonka and draw samuel and his doggie marsba in the front.

needless to say i have about 1/2 a cake left. now i know why you give everyone a piece to enjoy at home!
