Eamon: "Oooh, Mommy! Can I have that cake for my birthday?"
Me: <looking for some supposedly-edible monstrosity of icing and toys and not seeing one> "What cake are you talking about?"
Eamon: "That one! The chocolate one with the hole in it!"
Me: "The bundt cake? The one with no icing at all, just some glaze?"
Eamon: "Yeah! Can I have that for my birthday party?"
Me: <Not really believing that he could actually want something so simple for his birthday but going with it> "Um, sure, if that's what you want."
Eamon: "Yay!"
Several days ago...
Eamon: "Can we make the bundt cake for my birthday be a volcano?"
Me: <Knowing he couldn't keep it simple> "Sure."
Eamon: "And with dinosaurs?"
Me: *sigh* "Of course."
This morning...
Eamon: "Mommy, I've got lots of dinosaurs that we can put on the bottom cake for my birthday."
Me: "The 'bottom' cake?"
Eamon: "Yeah, the small* cake on the bottom that the bundt volcano will sit on? That's the one that holds it all together."
Me: "So now you want two cakes?"
Eamon: "Uh-huh and I think the triceratops should be on the top of the volcano."
Me: *sigh* "Of course."
*When he said "small," he meant a flat sheet cake.
Disclaimer: We tend to keep the kids' actual parties fairly simple so we don't mind making a "fancy" cake - we've actually make similar birthday cakes for them before - but it just cracked me up that his cake idea kept getting more and more elaborate. ;)
I think he's looking for something like this...
