This Boy Turned 4 years old On the 5th of September. Were has the time gone? What a cute little mess he is!
We celebrated it on Monday with Cake and swimming.
When I asked Cory what kind of cake he wanted me to make for his birthday, The answer wasn't surprising but a lot more detailed then I had planned. I was given very specific instructions to make a jungle birthday cake, but he didn't stop there he proceeded to tell me he had to have an elephant, hippo, zebra, tiger, rhino, lion, monkeys, alligators, and a giraffe! When i laughed and said ok I will see what I can do he didn't stop he insisted that there be a river and the hippo and alligators had to be swimming in the river!!
Well I gave it my best shot, the whole time wondering if i would be able to live up to these expectations. Especially because I was wanting to try and make everything edible meaning no plastic toys could be put on this cake (maybe next time I wont try to be the “cake boss”)
After 5 cake mixes (no I didn't make the cake from scratch and i don't care if I did) 1 tub of Crisco 3lbs of Fondant and 8lbs of powder sugar—And 3 days of work here is what I came up with
This is by far the most detailed and biggest cake I have ever made so far. It was a lot of work and fun. I learned a lot like the palm trees need to be made at least 4 days in advance!! But Cory got everything he wanted a jungle river cake with an elephant, zebra, tiger, giraffe, lion, rhino, monkeys and a hippo and alligators swimming in the river, I even added some jungle flowers, snakes and birdies just for fun--
Here are some more detailed pictures
--Happy Birthday Cory--
We Love you!!

HOLY COW!!! Im sure you already know this but you are amazing! Are you available to make a cake on May 1st? My kids share a birthday so I'd only need one cake!! ;) It really is awesome Cole!
Now I am embarrased to post pictures of the cake I made for Gavin! I hope Gavin doesn't ask me to make a detailed cake like that...I probably won't give him the option though:)
It looks amazing!
Nicole, I think you could beat mama at a "cake-off", and that's saying something! I bet you're little guy couldn't have been happier. How fun.
WOW nice work!! Happy Birthday!
WOW...that is an AMAZING cake! You really have a talent for that kind of thing! Happy Birthday to your big guy! :)
Are you kidding me? It looks like it's straight out of a magazine! I have no idea where you got the energy to do that with 2 children and on in your belly...SUPER MOM! Great job!
I just showed this cake to my twins (10) and they were extremely impressed. They couldn't believe that I could possibly be related to someone with that much talent!! I sadly lack in that department. It has been great seeing your family since I remember you as that little beautiful girl Ellie and I hung out with when we were at BYU!! Old I am!!
um... you're insane!! that is amazing! don't let my kids see it though or expectations will start going up over here. :) happy birthday cory!!
