Today a grandson turned 9.
When I woke up, I saw this balloon arch with a baseball theme, constructed by his mom and aunt, while I slept.
Fourteen of us had burgers cooked in the house because it was too windy to grill, pasta salad, chips and dip for supper.
Dessert was an ice cream sandwich cake. It’s just unwrapped ice cream sandwiches put in whatever size container you want in layers.
In between the layers and on top, we put whipped topping, chocolate syrup and a magic shell. This frozen treat can be made whatever size you like.
Ours was in a 13 x 9 container and used about 18 ice cream sandwiches.
The magic shell turns hard and it was pretty hard for the younger eaters to cut. So we decided that if we make it again we will just use hot fudge or caramel topping or some thing that does not get as hard as magic shell.
I think there’s nine year old had a very happy birthday!

ReplyDeleteThe smile says it all :)
That sounds like an easily made birthday cake. I love the baseball decorations and his smile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Those balloon banners are not expensive to make and give a lot of WOW factor.
ReplyDeleteWas the balloon arch a kit or did Nina make it from scratch? That would be a fun and inexpensive decoration for birthdays here.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to try the ice cream sandwich cake. That will be a fun and easy recipe for the kids to make.
