Last Day of Childhood

Tomorrow, L will become a teen, officially (not that he isn't already participating in the attitude...). As such, we had a party to plan. This year he said, and I quote, "Mom, I'm going to be a teen this year. I don't really want a big themed party. Can we just have a BBQ at the park?" My heart sank; I love giving themed parties! Anyhow, a few days pass, and we start talking about what he wants. I asked what sort of cake he wants, and he replies, "I want something that will go well with the BBQ theme." LOL So much for out-growing themed parties... He had a cookbook (yes, it is his--not mine or Craig's), in which he found this idea. He is becoming quite the chef these days--loves taking home economics even! We are 2 cobs down; 10 more (or so) to go. I still have to add the butter pats (laughy taffy) and salt (sugar), but I am not unhappy with how they are turning out. Wish I were a better at cake stuff though...
