I just found (3/1/21) this segment of Xander's 3rd birthday. It just melted my heart. Good job on the cake mom. Brought back memories of my little boy who is now 49. They grow up so fast. Enjoy every second of that little boy.
Where is the love button?? What an awesome mom you are!! Love all your videos but I think this is definately one of my fav's. You are raising a sweet little boy. Blessings on your family!
You are so brave. I adored the airplane last year but you really outdid yourself this year. The dozer is adorable. An adorable cake for an adorable young man.
You did a great job on the cake! Most moms wouldn't even try to do something like that. And, it really doesn't matter what other people think of the cake because Xander was the one who was most impressed by it. The idea was to make him happy on his special day. Your love for your family is shown in what you do for them. Bless your heart! God bless you and your family.
thank you kindly! I think, too, it's the thought and love behind it that makes it more special than a perfect bought cake. God bless you! thanks for the encouragement!
I think it looks great Janine you done a wonderful job! Xander is sooo cute lovely little boy love is exictement! Happy Bithday Xander 🎊🎊🎂🎁🎈🎈🎈Thank you for sharing enjoy the video! God Bless stay well and safe guys! Hugs Liz x
Great boy cake! You're making great memories for Xander. My daughters, ages 46- 57 still reminisce about the special cakes I made for their birthdays. Over the years I discovered it was easier if I baked the cakes one day and and assembled the next. Thanks for sharing this, I can't possibly pick a favorite Xander moment!
That is awesome! So glad it made memories for them, good for you! I want to follow in your tracks! I like your idea of baking one day, and decorating the next. That is wise!
Just saw this today. You did a great job on that bulldozer!!! Those were great tips about frosting and freezing! But you must know the favorite part of the video was seeing Xander going through the day and birthday with you! He is SO precious. God bless and protect him and his holy innocence. He had such a beautiful birthday. His friends seem as sweet as him.
Turned out really good ! He loved it & that is what counts when the birthday boy is happy & I’m sure Mommy is pleased that he likes it after all the work of making it , Lol ! He was so cute blowing those candles out ! Happy Birthday Xander 🎂🎈🎂🎈🎂🎈
Great job on the cake! Happy third birthday, Zander! May your threes be filled with many wonderful experiences, new skills tackled, and new friends made.
Great job on the cake!! He looked so happy with it! He so reminds me of my boy at that age! I used to make big decorated cakes for my kids. My husband and I did a John deere tractor one year. It took a good chunk of the day to make but was fun! Now due to health reasons my cakes are much simpler. Hopefully someday I'll get back into it again. Take care!
Fabulous cake, Janine!!!!!!! Zander (or is it Xander...I forget!) is absolutely adorable! His smile and enthusiasm are infectious!!! HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, BUBBA!!!!!!!
Great job on your cake making skills! To see Zander's eyes light up with such gratitude and joy makes my heart smile! So precious!!!! Thank you for sharing this family moment. Gale Flowers
Oh Janine your cake is brilliant you made such a good job of it, I loved everything about it. Xander is such a lovely little boy he has the most wonderful smile, and his face just lit up when you showed him his finished cake. Happy birthday Xander and to all of you keep well and keep safe. God bless x
Hey Mennonite Mom, Hahaha glad to see your enjoyment and creative intuition in making Xander's cake. What a blessed boy Xander is! You are definitely more confident than you were this time last year. What an amazing mom you are! PTGL Amen Amen for amazing mom!
This reminds me of how I started making cakes for our oldest son, he's almost a teenager now and outgrowing these types of cakes. Now I kind of enjoy doing them with all the practice I have (our 4th child is turning 3 this summer-and asking for a dozer cake after watching this with me ☺).
You did an awesome job on the bulldozer cake! I can tell it’s made with love too! I’ll be making a bulldozer cake tomorrow for my 6 year old grandson! I made him a fire truck for his 3rd birthday! The airplane cake was cute too! God bless!
You’re welcome! I was disappointed in my cake. It didn’t come out like I pictured in my mind. My grandson loved it and I guess that’s all that matters!! I enjoy your blog! God bless you and your family!
Love the cake Janine! Zander will always remember the special cakes. My mother made most of my brothers and my cakes and I remember them all! Great memories! ♥️ Zander is so cute.😊
That is so awesome and creative. Love it! You're an excellent mommy! Xander is definitely a boy through and through. He knows the parts of bulldozer. Love how you had this little light of mine playing. Xander's light is shining! God bless you and your family.🎈🎂🎁🎉💙. Happy birthday Xander!
I'm 25 and I still look back ever so fondly on my decorated birthday cakes!! I'm sure your son does the same! They are such a wonderful, heart-warming memories to have.
My goodness, hard to believe it's only your second cake! This is AWESOME! Almost as awesome as Xander's smile! Pure JOY! GOOD JOB Momma 👍👍 And a Happy belated birthday to Xander.. his and my birthday are just 3 days apart🤗
Cake looked great and delicious! Made me want some of it and a Hershey bar too! Happy birthday 🎂🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈 handsome young man! God bless you! Thanks for sharing and we'll see you next time!
Zander is so beautiful!!! His b-day made me remember mine when i was little...so simple and so beautiful!! and you making the cake made me remember my mom last b-day cake for me. God bless you for your love and for posting this video...!
This just made my day!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY XANDER!!!!🎂🎶🎉🚜✈🎁you did an Excellent job on the awesome cake!! Love to see how excited he gets for things great and small! So Happy he had a good birthday with family and friends! All of the children are adorable by the way! I always love to bake ,but.... HATE the aftermath of destruction that is my kitchen as well !LOL!! I usually am the same way with cleaning as I go but you are right when icing is in the equation that cleaning thing has gone right out the door!😁give hugs to bubba for me!! May God Bless him with many Happy Birthdays to come!! Hugs from Ephrata.💓😘🙏🌼🌻🌷🌸
Hugs for Bubba coming up! (: Thanks so much, and yes, the aftermath is what is so overwhelming! Seems there is just no way to keep things clean when decorating LOL
He’s gonna love it. I think u did a fantastic job. I would never try to attempt to make this. I know I wouldn’t be able to make those squares with the icing tube or whatever u call it. Mine would be so crooked. I think I’ll stick to a original round or square cake. I’m so proud that u did this for Xander he’s going to be filled with joy. Yes, be proud of urself n remember ur not a professional just a mom who loves her boy. ♥️😊👍
Thanks so much 😊 I'm sure you could do it! Trust me, if I can, you can. I'm not baker/decorater! But yes, we mothers do a lot for our children, aye? I hope your day is blessed!
Zander is one sweet little boy. You are great parents. He will never forget these moments you share with him.
