That hand painted wrapping paper? Ernest himself made it a number of Christmases ago. But he was mostly interested in that little thingy with the apple on it.
And there was cake for school. He wanted brownies, but brownies and I just don't get along. They are either too hard around the edges or too mushy in the middle. So we made a big cake.
Ernest was out of the house, so I saved the beater for him to lick.
It truly is the Best Chocolate Sheet Cake Ever.
So that was Friday's cake. We had another cake for the folks at home, but due to circumstances beyond our control (full bellies) no one was able to eat any more cake Friday night. Saturday was taken over by the trip to Magic Mountain. Instead, we saved it for Sunday. Mr Thomas aka Busy helped with the candles. He did a good job.

That sounds like an absolutely fabulous birthday!
(And now I want cake...)
Actually, Duncan Hines mixes make acceptable brownies - certainly better than my from scratch ones

Love the heritage bag!
What fun! I am still amazed at how many birthdays there are around here this month! Blog friends birthdays, their kids birthdays... just seems like a lot of them!
Very nice lookin' birthday! I love the heirloom bag. Obviously he needs a gift in that bag every year! :-)
If you're going to blog about cake I'm going to have to help myself to one of the brownies calling my name from the kitchen.
It sounds like a great birthday--good job, Mom!
What a great birthday!! and really...if anything is going to be an heirloom for a kid, it might as well be Spongebob (who totally rocks the Kuroiwa boys world!!)
and what IS it about brownies?? mine end up totally crusty on the outside and the middle is just waaay too moist!
my kingdom for Duncan Hines over here!!!
April is such a great birthday month!!
