Happy Monday, Friends!
Back to school today. Boys were good waking up early, I was glad. You know, after 2 weeks of staying up later than they used to, then waking up also later ish, 1st day of school would not be too easy for waking up early, but this morning was a breeze ?
My youngest is 7 now. We celebrated his birthday on Christmas eve with a requested cake….gotta mention, half year long requested. Come to think of it, maybe longer than half year. Most likely he asked for it right after he turned 6 ? When he just turned 7, he already planned for his next cake, so yeah ?
He requested this following cake.
Are you familiar with the characters? It’s a spider in the form of muffin/cupcake and also a spider girl on the top.
They are Little Miss Muffet (the girl) and her pet, the spider cupcake ?. They are from a game called Undertale.
My son specifically asked for chocolate cake with the colorful buttercream (of purple and pink) with Nutella as filling ?
