Magic tux and brown sand birthday


Travis attended his first formal dance last week. He went with a friend, not a girlfriend, so really I think it was in it for the tux. He fell in love with this mobster tux months ago and was just looking for an excuse to rent it. He looked pretty snazzy and felt like a million bucks.

Not being a great birthday gift shopper, I gave Travis leave to make me a cake for my recent birthday. He surprised me by his cleverness and resourcefulness. He baked sheet cake, used frosting and sugar to simulate a beach with sand and waves and an "over the hill" buoy. It was topped off with a smiling Chinese figurine sitting on the beach with a paper umbrella.

It tasted good too.
