Max had a chocolate spaceship cake with lots of frosting. We were a little concerned that he wouldn't really know what to do with a big cake as he hadn't had one before, so the day before his birthday we gave him a practice run. We didn't need to worry as a few seconds in to the experiment he was digging in to the cake with both hands and stuffing fistfuls into his mouth. Just look at those eyes in the first picture to see the fierceness with which he is digging in. After a short while we had to pry it away from his for fear that he would make himself sick and also that the novelty might wear off before his real cake at his party.
As it happened, the real cake did not go down so well. I think the fact that he was stripped down and put in his chair in front of a room of cheering and laughing people may have contributed to his displeasure. He screamed and cried and tried to get out of his chair - but even in his anger, he managed to shove several large handfuls of cake into his sobbing mouth. So, though not quite what we anticipated, it was a very entertaining event. Though the cake was not a huge hit, Max loved his party balloons and loved being spoiled by his grandpa...
and to our surprise, was a very interested and appreciative gift receiver.
All in all a good first bithday
