Making birthdays special

Due to the sickness that ran through our family last week, we had to postpone my daughter’s 20th birthday party until this past Saturday. Â But it turned out ok…my daughter found this neat cake idea on a blog and so we had a fun time assembling this piano cake for her party! Â She loved it!
Here is a close up for you…
If you want to make this cake, I baked two 9×13 inch cakes, cut one in half and set it on top of the other. Â I then frosted the whole cake with chocolate frosting (homemade of course!). Â To make the white piano keys, I took those vanilla wafer cookies and dipped them in vanilla candy coating to make them white. Â The dark piano keys are some of those chocolate covered graham sticks.
Each year I try to come up with a fun birthday cake idea that reflects my child’s talents or interests. Â I have done a princess cake, a football cake, a golf course cake, a train cake, a semi truck cake, a fire engine cake, a basketball cake, a heart cake, a ballet cake, and probably more that I am forgetting about :).
This is just one way that I try to make my family’s birthdays special.
How about you? Â Do you make “special cakes” for your birthdays? Â If so…what kinds have you made?
