I was digging around a drawer in the kitchen and stumbled upon this silver #5 birthday candle…. used twice. Seeing this brought back a flood of memories of birthday cakes. You see, we had a tradition that I would bake a cake and decorate it however my kids wanted it for their birthdays. I believe #5 was once on a Hot Wheels themed cake with turquoise icing and a Frozen themed cake with frosted sugar cone trees. Other themes have been Lightning McQueen, Pinky Pie My Little Pony, Roblox Adopt Me, horses, dog park, sharks, Spirit Riding Free, basketball, football. horses again, corgi, polar bears, puppies…. Now that the kids have grown and taste buds have elevated, we get to indulge in things like key lime pie and cheesecake… the decorating days are sadly coming to an end. But I’m keeping the candle 🙂
