After weeks of prodding and disappointment over a *slight* overestimating of my cake making abilities (a stand up 3D version of Super Smash Brothers is not something I could do), he finally decided on a golf cake. Well, he wanted the clubs and the ball and it was the least I could do after denying him his first option.
Instead of a big couple hour party, he opted for a sleep over with just a few friends.
We started the night with Monster Mingolf. I think we hit a record for most balls hit out of play in one round.
Then it was home for pizza and beach. They would have stayed out in the water longer, if they didn't have to share the water with jellyfish.
And then video games and more video games and finally threats if they didn't stop playing video games and go to bed.
Most of the evening we had the cake out and ready, but only a couple boys ate a piece. When I woke up the next morning, however, the entire thing was GONE. As was most of the 4 large pizzas. Sleep was no match for the bottomless stomachs of boys!
They interrupted their morning playing of games long enough to scarf down some pancakes and then the party was over.
I'm pretty sure they all had fun. Repeated calls of "That game is sick!" is a good sign, right?
Perfect cake, perfect party!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your feedback on my RSS feed question. You are the only one who has responded. Sob.
Not that you need one more thing to do, but have you thought about putting together party themes professionally? Uncreative hacks like me would pay for this stuff!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cake! And thank you for making me glad I have girls. I barely manage to keep up with their incessant demand for food and the thought of adolescent boy stomachs scares the life out of me!
ReplyDeleteAmazing cake as usual! Points for bravery for hosting 12 year old boys overnight!
ReplyDeleteYeah seriously, you always have such great ideas and are so ambitious!! I give a cake to my kids, wrap their presents in a blanket (literally) and call it a day. I need to be more like you. For the sheer fact that - your son loved his party and will remember it forever.
ReplyDeleteYeah.. gotta start making those memories with my family.
That cake is amazing! It sounds like the perfect party.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cake! And it looks like the boys had a ball :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh. I am not looking forward to this. I will have three boys all in high school at the same time and you just gave me visions of my grocery bill...
ReplyDeleteThat cake is so cute! You are so good at cakes! Sounds like he had a great party!
ReplyDeleteHow did you create the grass on the cake? Very impressive and what a great memory for your son and his friends.
ReplyDeletePerfect! You are the queen of cakes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Ryan! Looks like a much easier party than Kirsti's!! Fun though.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you what is sick... your cake baking skills!
ReplyDeleteWell, I barely manage to keep up with their incessant demand for food and the thought of adolescent boy stomachs scares the life out of me! anyway thanx.
ReplyDeleteOK, I have some serious catching up to do...but while I read, know that I am so sad that we missed you guys before you took off for a bit.
ReplyDeleteHurry and have fun so you can come home and play with us!!

ReplyDeleteThat cake looked gigantic, Charlotte! Then again, I've seen my six sisters sit down with a cake in the middle of the table and a bunch of forks and, next thing you know, it's gone too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect party. My daughter wants a slumber party this year. Complete dread. A party that lasts 18 hours? Ugh.
Well, I barely manage to keep up with their incessant demand for food and the thought of adolescent boy stomachs scares the life out of me! thanx for the post.
ReplyDeleteI really like the pictures. S. had a lot of fun at the party! Thanks for all of your hard work!
ReplyDeleteUmmm.... I fear my BBQ on Friday will not meet your high party expectations. What I lack in party skills I make up for in marshmallows.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ryan. Happy lifetime of golfing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mom! I'm laughing at this: "a stand up 3D version of Super Smash Brothers"
