JDaniel had his birthday party on Friday. He chose a construction machine theme. It was a lot of fun to put it together. All his pals were given construction hats to wear while they played. JDaniel received a construction hat with light from my husband and I to wear in the salt mine he created upstairs. I bet you can guess which hat everyone wanted to wear.
When you have a construction machine themed party, you have to have a construction site cake. Tammy of Tammy’s Two Cents came up with the idea for this cake. We were e-mail chatting a few weeks ago about her son’s birthday and I shared with her JDaniel’s birthday theme. Literally she walked me through how to create the cake. It is just a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Crushed Oreos were placed on the cake along with three construction vehicles. Traffic cone candy corns edge the sides of the cake. It was the hit of the party.
JDaniel was so wound up after the party. He really didn’t want to take a nap. I promised that if he took a nap of any length he could have a construction machine muffin tin snack. It took about thirty minutes for him to fall asleep, but he eventually did.
The top row of the muffin tin was inhaled quickly and the second row was dismissed. I don’t blame him. The health things are in the second row and the fun foods we don’t have often are in the top row.
The tortilla chips, candy corn, and Oreos disappeared faster than you can say front end loader. The salsa was deemed too spicy. The cucumbers and carrots were left without mention and teeth marks.
That cake looks just perfect for a little boy!
that is the cutest cake, and if I could get my son to eat raw veggies I would buy fifteen front loaders…but I doubt it would help me. I am seriously thinking of pureeing crap into his cookies because he is being so particular about everything. GAH!
The cake looks awesome girl! 🙂 I love the candy corn addition for the construction cones…perfect! 🙂
Sounds like a fun day but it is so hard to get them to unwind! I am sure he was so excited. I love birthday and the kids…the excitement just shines through them! 🙂
What a fun cake!! And a cool bday theme!
What a great cake! The candy corn traffic cones are genius! love it and happy birthday to him! 🙂
You did a great job on that cake! I overpaid for one very similar to that a couple years ago!!
I love how you said the veggies didn’t even have teeth marks! Hee!Hee! Fun theme this week for JDaniel….veggies and all!
Love the construction theme! Great cake, and wonderful tin!
Nice try mum! Hee hee – yeah, pretty hard to get them to eat vegies straight after a party. Still, we try… Sounds like he had a fantastic day!
That is awesome! good job on the cake and tin! He must of loved it!!
Your cake is so cool! I love all the dirt on top with the earth mover trucks. I wish my son liked construction stuff more. He is all about superheroes. LOL!
what a fun cake! I agree using candy corn for traffic cones is very clever!!
Love the cake! And you are so funny “faster than you can say Front End Loader” I laughed out loud at that 🙂
I would have done the exact same thing! I love how the cake came out, by the way. 🙂
Oh my – I’m totally stealing that cake idea for Sawyer’s next Birthday! LOVE it!!!
Happy Birthday to JDaniel! We attended a little boy construction party almost 2 years ago. Craig, actually, made the cake for it! I’m sure you aren’t surprised by that. 🙂
Happy Birthday JDaniel! I love that cake!
I love that cake super cute and creative
THat cake looks amazing and it was so easy to make. Seems like a fun cake to make even if it was not for a themed birthday.
Great cake idea! It would probably work well for cupcakes too!… or muffins!
And as for the MTM… at least he ate the tortilla chips! Some corn, some flour… I’m sure there’re SOME nutrients in there!
F-U-N! 🙂
You should be proud of this cake! A is still talking about it. It tasted as great as it looked, too!
Oh this is too cute! What a fun cake and snack tin. Happy birthday JDaniel!
Great cake! My little guy loves the construction vehicles too.
Adorable cake!! We did a dump truck themed birthday my Sammy’s first year and did a dump truck cake 🙂
Love the cake!!!
What an awesome cake!! My kids would LOVE that!
The cake is awesome!!
Love the muffin tin lunch too, but Wow on the cake! FUN!
