The Ticket to Max's Satisfaction is...






...gumballs.

The night before:
Mommy: Max, what kind of cake do you want for your birthday?
Max: A gumball cake.

Mommy: A GUMBALL cake? I've never had one of those. Are they good?

Max: Oh yes mommy, very good. I can't wait for my gumball cake.
Mommy: Alright then, a gumball cake it is.

And so the next morning we set the plan in motion. After we made the batter (who wants to lick the beaters?) we shoved bubble gum balls into the pans that were ready to go into the oven. After the cake was cooled and frosted, we took more gumballs (Max's favorite colors of course) and lined the top and bottom of the cake. Not rocket science or culinary genius, I realize. But do you see the look on his face?
