Five years old!

Our eldest turned 5 this month. It's been a little hard to believe that 5 years has gone by! On the other hand he sometimes seems like he's been around forever.
For his birthday dinner, the birthday boy chose:
Pigs in a Blanket
Jello with Fruit
Cheetos
and an under sea cake...
Which left me pouring over pictures online from other creative bakers. There are some really fun and some very extravagant cakes out there! It is incredible what some of these artists can do.
I finally settled on a coral reef cake and instead of making everything from fondant, I picked up a tube of sea life from the craft store and got creative with some fruit leather. The tube also had a diver and treasure chest, which was the favorite!
