His party was in Lubbock on Easter weekend. As usual we had it at Trevor's moms house (what a good sport of her). If you didn't catch a look at the practice cake you can see it here. Dain decided a few weeks ago that he wanted a Star Wars birthday party and that he wanted a R2D2 cake. I like a challenge.
Here is a brief and not at all detailed cake how-to.
(I used skewers as dowels)
Then POOF, you have a cake! Ok, it's not as simple as that, but you get the idea.
Now that I look back, I wonder why I didn't attach the legs when we got to Lubbock. It would have made getting this dude to the party a lot easier. I ended up losing balance while in Big Spring so his face was slightly smashed for the party, but Dain didn't mind so that's all that matters.
The party was fun and Dain loved seeing everyone and all of the gifts he got are still in good condition (win!) After the party we had our family easter egg hunt. All of the kids got about the same amount of eggs. Thank you to everyone that made it! It was a fun weekend.
