Birthday Time

It's almost June and that means I have two birthdays coming up at my house.  I LOOOOOVE Birthdays so much.  I love to have big parties for my kids and love to watch their extreme joy when I hit the nail on the head.

In preparation for the celebrations coming up we have been talking about what they want for their special days.





Since we like to keep things simple, I always make the kids cakes.  We have been checking out Betty Crocker's website and looking at all the great cakes.  

Seth, as you saw in the video, wants a How to Train Your Dragon party.  We couldn't find a dragon cake, but did find the dinosaur cake and I can add one more head to it and then it will be perfect!


Amelia wants a Princess party.  I love how simple this cake is, but how glamorous it looks.

They are both so excited about their birthdays, and now that I have detailed instructions on how to make these cakes, I am too!

The great folks at Betty Crocker want to help you put on a special birthday party too!!  Go over to their site and check out all of the cake options.  Come back here and tell me which cake you would want to make.  They will send 1 lucky winner everything you need to make the cake!

That's all you have to do to win.

Of course if you want another chance to win you can tweet about it too!

Contest will end on May 31 at 9 PM MDT when I choose a winner at random.

Good luck!

  2. I love this! I didn't know that they had so much info on their website. My son would flip out if I baked the Robot cake for him.

    P.S. Your kids are straight up adorable.

  3. I've seen other fun cake sites, but this one is awesome too. I was looking at the outerspace one with a space shuttle cake. My kids would love that (especially after we go to NASA this summer)
