Blake's eight!

Blake turned 8 on the 25th and this year decided to have his birthday at FuddRuckers/Ruckers. He originally would have loved to have rented a place to have a baseball tourney, but unfortunately in March everything is booked up for soccer or slowpitch. Worked out great for us as Ruckers gives you a party host who takes care of everything for you, so we didn't have to worry about a thing!

The above baseball cake was made by Cakes G'lore....I decided at the last minute on the 24th to make something for Blake to take with him to school to celebrate. Since I made a rainbow cupcake cake for Avery, I figured I'd do the same for Blake. Thanks to Saucy's easy recipe for cupcakes and her no fail frosting, I was able to whip these up in no time. It helped that I didn't have to add any coloring to the frosting! With a quick phone call to Dale at work to have him bring home some red decorating gel, I was able to finish this up by 11PM. Dale gets the credit for the red stitches....I never would have gotten those things right! And thank goodness, Blake turned 8....I had 2 extra cupcakes that wouldn't fit into the circle, but I needed them so that everyone in his class would have one....wouldn't you know that 2 cupcakes makes a perfect eight esp. when your husband can decorate it so nicely!



Blake was so excited to see his cake in the morning that he didn't even notice his present sitting right next to it...we had to tell him about it before he noticed it!
