There’s nothing wrong with picking up a few pizzas and grabbing a cake and ice cream from a local grocery store for your kid’s birthday party. There are more important things pertaining to the party to worry about than that.
The balloon situation is among those more important things to worry about. Also, are there parting gifts for the other kids in attendance? Because, for some reason, that’s a thing. And, of course, did you grab a present the kid asked for?
You also want to make sure there are enough adult beverages on hand for any of the grownups who are stuck hanging out at the party. They don’t want to be there and a drink or two will make the hour they’re stuck at the party less painful for them.
Now, if you’re one of those people who insists on making the cake yourself, stick to the cake pan. Don’t go over the top and try shapes or anything like that. Not unless your attempt at a homemade cake ends up looking like boobs.
BIRTHDAY ‘BUNION CAKE’ SHAPED LIKE FOOT WOWS WOMAN AFTER HER SURGERY
That’s one way to make the birthday party a lot more interesting. It’s also a great way to make memories. Boring homemade cakes don’t do that. Don’t fall for the marketing. The kids aren’t going to remember that mom made the birthday cakes herself. Not unless you screw the cakes up.
Author Lyndee Walker made her son’s 8-year-old birthday party a memorable one with her attempt at making a cake in the shape of the number eight.
“I wasn’t gonna attempt a Spider-Man cake or a Superman cake, but okay, I can make an eight, like that’s easy,” she told People of her approach to making the birthday cake.
It was the peach food coloring that took it from an amateur attempt at a number eight to a boob cake. She used the peach color to mark the circles in the number. The sprinkles were a nice touch.

Walker thought she nailed it until her husband made an observation. He said, “My husband walked into the kitchen and looked at it and said, ‘Hey, how come you put sprinkles on your boob cake?'”
She swatted at him and told him to stop until she got a look at the cake sideways. That’s when it hit her, “I was like, ‘Oh my God, it does look like boobs. I made my child boobs.'”
I don’t have to tell you this, but a boob cake is a great way to celebrate a birthday. Maybe not an 8-year-old’s, but mom’s best friend is the only one besides her husband who seemed to notice. The kids didn’t know any better.

That was until her son, who turned 18 recently, got another look at the cake his mom made for his eighth birthday. He’s older, he’s wiser, and he knows a boob cake when he sees one.
“He was like, ‘um, kinda, like that’s our cake pan and that’s the counter at the old house, and I — mom is that tits?,’” she said.
“And I was like ‘Well..’ He goes, ‘Was this from my birthday? Okay, well, I didn’t think it looked like tits then, if that makes you feel any better.’”
What a heartwarming moment for a mother to share with her son.
