Wow you are amazing! That is one of the most incredible cakes I have ever seen. What a neat gift to give your son for his birthday. I would love to see a picture of his reaction to seeing the cake for the first time. I'm sure his is going to absolutely love it. Have a great birthday party!

Holy flip, girl!! If you weren't already wildly busy, I'd say that you should start a side business of making cute/amazing cakes!
(Or, heck, at least make and display one at your ward's Talent Show. ^_^)

... And knowing your mad cooking skillz, it's gonna taste even BETTER than it looks! Jealous!!
