kid birthday cakes

I made this lion cake for my nephew's 2nd birthday.  The first photo shows the professional version and the second photo is my creation.  Not bad if I say so myself!  I keep stating this in all my posts but I like to keep things simple.  These cakes look hard to make but are actually pretty easy.  Just follow the step-by-step instructions to create a something really special.  Why bother buying a cake when you can surprise and amaze your child with homemade treat?  There are 31 fun cakes to choose from at Parenting.com.  Here are a few more of my favorites:
