We’ve been watching this cake show on TV where a kid draws a picture of a cake, and then two professional bakes compete by interpreting the drawing and making a cake for their birthday. We did it with Peter. Here’s his picture. 

Here is my cake. It’s an ice cream and Funfetti cake. It tasted great. 

Joe’s cake. And the frosting was good, the cake was edible. 

I won the competition. But obviously, neither of us are professional bakers.

Also, I failed to take any pictures of the actual birthday and birthday party or birthday boy. I forgive myself. We had three parties. One with just us, another with friends, and a third with family. They were all fun. The birthday boy loved everything: lots of basketball-themed presents including a basketball, new shoes, a custom jersey, basketball cards, a warmup jacket, and tickets to a basketball game. He loves basketball.
