Tomorrow is My Son's 8th Birthday! So hard to believe he is already 8 years old! For his birthday we went hiking and had a picnic lunch at Pisgah Forest in North Carolina! http://www.tripadvisor.com/Guide-g49442-i116834-Pisgah_Forest_North_Carolina.html The theme of his birthday was Mine Craft, I got a few ideas off the internet on how to decorate his cake! I also wanted to make him a cake from scratch with nothing processed in it. I got this recipe from 100 Days of Real Food : http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2013/05/24/recipe-yellow-cupcakes-homemade-frosting-better-than-the-box/ I did not do the pink icing- I made his green icing with Spinach that I juiced! So my major fail on this cake was-The Mine Craft character Creeper on the cake is made ofHershey's chocolate bars! This was the only part of cake that was processed! I had a hard time deciding what to make the face out of and the quickest and simplest thing to so was break up the squares of chocolate and make the face! By far the icing was the best part of this cake and you could not tell it had juiced spinach in it at all! The cake was good too, I did let it bake a little long and it seemed to be a little dry but overall, a Win! Great day of Family, Food, and Hiking!
