Monkey Cake

My 3 year old is a monkey... okay, not literally, but almost! He loves all things monkey and I knew that he just HAD to have a monkey birthday theme! I found the CUTEST birthday set at celebrate express called mod monkey, and I just had to have it! I put polka dots (with paper plates) all over my walls, and used every stuffed monkey we had to help decorate. It was by far one of my cutest parties that I've had! And of course my son loved his 'monkey cake'!

Football Cake

For my son's 11th birthday, it was all about football!!! I wanted to make him a football shaped cake, but he wanted the field- complete with players and everything! Thankfully I was able to find the cake toppers (along with some other really cute football decorations) at oriental trading company. I used his initials for the center logo, and as an added touch we even wrote the last names of his guests on the backs of the player jerseys and let them take their guys home. All the boys were really impressed with the cake, and wished their moms were as cool as me! (Just kidding :-))
