This might be the first child birthday in a long time that I haven’t been called upon to produce a large frosted sheet cake.
(Last week I did make over one hundred mini cupcakes with blue frosting...just in case you are worried that I am slacking...)
Very early on, before the kids knew better, we substituted healthier foods than cake with butter frosting and artificial dyes to accompany birthday celebrations. This was before I found my calling as a spreader of colored frosting.
The kids often wanted some dark image in their frosting: Batman, Dark Souls characters, and lots of black frosting was always something I regretted later.
But now perhaps the younger child is too cool for a mother-decorated cake.
So as long as I was imagining a fantasy birthday cake, I though it should be hypothetically cool-enough, complete with death, fire and black frosting.
Though, now I have a supply of activated charcoal, so perhaps I could make a slightly less toxic and staining version of black icing if someone wanted such a thing.
The glasses he is wearing in the image say “IT’S MY BIRTHDAY” above the lenses.
Also, totally not cool enough even for napkins.
