However, for Joey's birthday this year, I got a fancy pan that made "cupcakes" shaped like train cars- it was a big hit, because the cakes could be easily pilfered, held in the hand, and eaten without mess in front of the TV.Joeymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254601805621175842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-4370006415896699412007-06-04T12:04:00.000-07:002007-06-04T12:04:00.000-07:00Charlie is still nominally gluten and casein free ...Charlie is still nominally gluten and casein free or I'd offer you our address too and you see A Lot of Frosting Gone In a Very Few Seconds.<BR/><BR/>I have to be careful about making cake! <BR/><BR/>I spent a fine chunk of $$$ on a lovely new iPod for my sweet guy and he looks at it, hands it back to me, and fiddles with the dusty case of the old one. <BR/><BR/>And over the years I have come to embrace my guy's love---the ocean, swimming, over-chlorinated pools---that once made me shiver.kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104388229716638534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-65956092462099491192007-06-04T11:34:00.000-07:002007-06-04T11:34:00.000-07:00Like you, when they were little I made the cakes. ...Like you, when they were little I made the cakes. Only mine didn't look like yours -- they were quite pitiful, but very lovingly made.<BR/><BR/>As they got older, I got the name and number of an extremely competent baker who works out of her home. That woman is positively a sorceress. Perfect approximations of things you can't get at the grocery - like Baby Einstein (the littlest one's fixation) and scooby doo - but no commercial one, a picture of the whole gang rendered perfectly in frosting.<BR/><BR/>That way we're all happy. The cake rocks, and they are pleased.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I stink at cake, but I make extremely elaborate cookies. Also not particularly loved at home.
