Big Mac Cake

I was inspired by Lisa at Moore Minutes to take a stroll down memory lane. (In all fairness, hers looks like a pro party planner! Although maybe I should give myself some points for effort, since I had 1 yr. old and 3 yr. "helpers".)
This a birthday cake I made for my son when he turned

ONE year old!

The Strapping Lad is now in is first year of college! I keep thinking I'm going to use this theme for a teenager party--maybe a 50s diner theme-- but I haven't done it yet--I've still got a few kids at home, though!

Now, recipes and party ideas are so easy to get on the internet. Way back then, we got recipes from friends and magazines. This is from a March 1992 Women's Day Magazine.

This is how my his cake turned out. (See the old-fashioned phone in the background? How funny!)

Well, at least he looks happy to see it! The red on his chin is from scabs. In typical little-boy fashion he got so many scrapes, bumps, chipped teeth, and (as a bigger boy) broken bones. Are you feelin' the wallpaper?! I loved it then!

Looks like it met with approval (that's Healthy Chick in the foreground.)
