Zombie Brains!

My boy is drawn to anything dark and creepy, and I am constantly trying to help him find balance, reigning in his inclinations without shutting down his amazing imagination. His 9th birthday request was a decapitated zombie head. First of all, that sounded like more if a challenge than I could handle at the time. I also tried to help him understand that while that is an epic idea, not everyone may find that appetizing. Our compromize was brain cupcakes. Chocolate cake with pink fondant brains, oozing with strawberry jam.

Since it has been so long since I updated, I thought I'd mention Gabe's 8th birthday was a break from tradition (at his request) and a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake.
