Video Game Birthday - Portal Cake

My son's 15th birthday was this week.  I wanted to do something special for him, but I wasn't sure what.   When he told me he wanted a chocolate cake, I knew I had my answer.  His favorite thing to do is  play video games. One of his favorite games to play is Portal, and in the game there is a special Portal Cake.  When i saw a picture of the Portal Cake, I knew it would be perfect for his  birthday cake.  In addition to Portal, my son also enjoys playing Minecraft, Pokemon and Skyrim.   I thought it would be fun to make a special treat from each one of those games, Skyrim Sweet Rolls,  Pokeball RIce Krispie Treats, and Minecraft Marshmallows.   Over the next few days I will be sharing the treats that I made. Today we are starting with the cake.

Happy Birthday Flashback

It is my oldest daughter's birthday today.  She has asked for us to take her to her favorite Sushi restaurant for her birthday dinner for the forth year in a row.  It's been a few months since I have had sushi so I am excited about it.  I thought it might be fun today to reshare one of her favorite cakes on the blog today.  I can't remember what flavor it was, but it was decorated with Sweet Sushi, and a pair of chopsticks.  You can see how to make sushi that kids will be wiling to eat here.
