Eight is Great!

What represents 8 better than an octopus?!  This cake was one of my all-time favorites.  It just might have finally convinced me that single tiers can be just as great as bigger cakes.  It came together so easily, and was simply fun to create. 

But you need to see it from a few more angles. 

And with the birthday boy:

I'm not sure what his birthday wish was, but he was ecstatic when he opened his gift from Grandma Kay & Papa.

Roller blades.

They make me crazy nervous, but I know I'm not even close to normal in that regard.  He hasn't seemed to mind the few bumps and bruises that have come with the territory.  My kids are SO much tougher than their mother! 

More to come soon about my birthday boy...

Those are such great pictures of the kids on your Heading.
That cake is fabulous! I laughed to think that you debate the difference between single or multi-tiered cakes, where I debate the difference between a sheet cake in a pan or cupcakes! Your abilities amaze me!

I always wanted roller blades growing up...never got them. Have fun Aidan!
