A great way to save money is making your own themed birthday cakes!
I’m participating in the
Ultimate Recipe Swap Birthday Cake Roundup at Life As Mom.
After viewing the cakes there, I am so inspired!

I didn't make this one, but just had to show it off. It was a gift for my daughter's 14th birthday party. The swords are made from rice crispy bars!

The 17-year-old young man who made this is hoping to start his own cake decorating business... I think he'll do well!
Let’s see, for the rest of the year, we have birthdays coming up in August, September, October, and 3 in November… I should get a lot of practice!

































how creative! The snake cake is really cool.
Wow, impressive snake cake!
Great cakes!
LOVE the castle cake!!
Neat cakes! We have started making our own cakes for birthdays too! It does save money, and the taste is soooooo much better. We just made my 7yos a Lego cake. bettycrocker.com has a huge collection of birthday cake directions and party ideas!
Hmm. And I was thrilled to make a heart cake for Valentine’s Day. Looks like I’ve got a long way to go, baby!
