Just a Birthday Cake

This year my elder boy requested a simple chocolate birthday cake without any character on it. He claimed that those cartoon characters on the cake are 'lame' for kids. :o Hahaha... he may talk and act like a young teenager but to me he is always my little boy. :)

Although this cake may look simple but it is a very special to me and my boy as he played a part in the cake decoration. I must say he did a great job. :)
