Grandson R's Birthday

Grandson R's 6th birthday fell close to Easter, and Grandma C decided to combine the two celebrations.

For his cake, she got a soccer ball Easter Egg, cut a hole in it and filled it with little eggs.  The ball was then resealed and placed on a cake.

In essence, it was to be a pinata cake and Grandma C made little icing hammers for the grandchildren to smash the ball with.

The icing hammers weren't tough enough for the job, so Grandson R resorted to an ice cream scoop!
The ice cream scoop did the trick!
After the cake, the kids wanted to blow bubbles.
Grandson B couldn't blow hard enough to generate bubbles, and Grandma had to help.

Grandson B decided that if he couldn't blow his own bubbles, he could chase them down!

  1. What an awesome cake. Grandma C is a star! Arthur, the children are growing so fast, last time you posted a picture of them, they were still looking like toddlers. Time really flies, my friend. Have a great week ahead :)

    P.S. For Easter (yesterday), we had carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and not much is left... hahaha...

    1. It was quite an easy cake for Grandma to make, but the children enjoyed breaking it up and having all the little eggs. I'm glad you enjoyed your carrot cake, Reader's Tales.
