Based on what we were giving Sean for his birthday, we decided on a circuit board cake. These are the 'circuits' I made (with some assistance from the kids and Damian). I bought an insane amount of candy! The bases are graham crackers and the green, blue and white frosting is royal icing.
This is the cake pre-decorations. The original plan was for it to be black. I started with a dark chocolate frosting and added black coloring. I stopped when my arm was too tired of mixing! (in my defense it was getting close to midnight!)
This is the cake with all the circuits on board. The 'Happy Birthday' is supposed to be an LCD screen.
The Charleston Chews in the middle of all these circuits have Sean's birthday and year. We started with 2002, the year he was born, and put it on the circuit on top of the cake. then for each of his 7 years there's a circuit on the side of the cake. These circuits are all connected to a candle on the top.
