Cakes for four year olds.
Because they are just figuring out this whole "birthday" thing and everything really excites them...and most of all...because they are crazy specific about what they want in the most adorable way possible. My own little 4 year old wanted a dinosaur holding a pencil for his cake. He later changed his mind to a fish thinking his name. Today I got to make a buttercream superhero cake with dolphins.
Here is the obvious superhero part of the cake. At least, I hope it's obvious. Tell you what -- let's just pretend like it's obvious and call it a day.
And in the back -- sneaky super hero dolphins. Just for the little man whose favorite animals are "dol-pins" and whose name may or may not start with a "J."
