This was originally my Lightning McQueen cake pan, but her son just wanted to have an orange race car, so I did what I could. His initials (that just happen to be the same as Tristan's), serve as the "license plate", and the car number is how old the birthday boy turned.
I make my chocolate cake from scratch (thanks Joanie!), so I always have leftover batter. Normally it gets baked and just shaved off the top of the cake pan before I turn the cake over (then I get to munch on it while I'm decorating it - you know, a baker has to test her work!), but this time I let Grace use it for her Easy Bake oven. I also had extra frosting, so the kids both got to try their hand at decorating their own cakes.
I ended up finishing Tristan's cake for him because he started getting more frosting out the top of the bag than the tip!
Tristan discovered my bowl of leftover Christmas M&M's and thought they would be perfect to decorate the top.
Grace did her cake completely by herself!
If the kids get to make their own cakes every time I do, I think I'll have another couple of people who don't mind me making cakes very often!
