The Ferens Farm

Brandon is all about tradition, and he has taught me to love it as well.  One of the traditions we have in our house is themed birthday cakes.  I make the cakes and frosting from scratch and Brandon designs and decorates it, to be WHATEVER the kids want.  Our tradition has been that at three you get  to pick your cake design, prior to that, we just make a “regular” cake.  We broke our rule this year, Ally got a themed cake for her second birthday but she didn’t get to pick it, we used a Build-a-Bear cake pan and decorating kit that my aunt had given us.  It turned out really cute, but took Brandon three and a half hours to decorate!  Normally Brandon designs and carves the cakes, no directions, just from his own creative mind, so this cake was a bit different.  Although we like how this one turned out, he decided making it up himself is still the way to go.  Enjoy these cakes from years past as well as this years creation below.

Zac’s 3rd birthday, a front end loader cake, Brandon’s first cake ever and still my favorite!
