For Robin's birthday, we stole an idea from Autumn's. Robin had a smash cake, too. Frank and I secretly bought one at the grocery store. But in Robin's case, Jeremy insisted that for an adult there were additional conditions and rules; a smash cake meant she had to smash it in her face, pretty much like those pie throws in slapstick comedy.
First Robin blew out the candles on her real cake.
 |
| Make a wish and blow real hard! |
Then we brought out the smash cake and she blew out the one candle on it. Jeremy explained the rules of an adult smash cake.
 |
| The candle on the smash cake is one to grow on. Or is it grow up? |
Robin ties back her hair lest it get in the frosting of her smash cake.
 |
| On your mark, get set.... |
She then admires that beautiful rose of a cake while she works up her courage to...
 |
| It sure is a lovely rose. It is mostly messy frosting though. |
SMASH it in her own face!
 |
| 1, 2, 3....! |
Robin is a good sport about it all.
 |
| Facial, anyone? |
Now, that sure is celebrating a birthday in a very adult manner! I think it was worth Frank's and my staying a few extras days in Oklahoma to be co-conspirators.
