There is no doubt when you have picked out the perfect gift for your child.
My son's birthday was a hit this year. He went back to school bragging to all his friends what he got for his birthday. It made me feel so great.
How I did it was simple. I asked him what he wanted, and I did it. You may think now hold on! I can't afford to do everything my child wants me to do. Maybe not. I know I can't, but I can improvise, which is what I did this year!
He wanted everything transformers all the way down to the cake. I could not afford to get a huge sheet cake with the extra kit you have to buy at the store to make it transformers. We could never eat the whole thing anyway!
All the cake was for the kit was completely blue with red icing flames, with a transformers toy on top. That cake was $25!
I decided to get a 1/2 sheet cake for $6.99, and had them make it blue with red trim. (this is PLENTY of cake for a family of 4), had them write his name on it, then I searched for something transformers to put on top of the cake.
I couldn't find a toy I was happy with, but I went to the party store and found a gummy transformer with the same coloration as the cake (I think that's optimus prime) and put that on top.
So then I cut out the part of the package to the gummie that said transformers and put it on the cake as well as a header.
I thought the end result was perfect and my son loved it!
