When I was little, I really wanted a My Little Pony cake for every one of my birthdays from the age of four. And now at 29, I thought the time had finally come.
I spent 45 minutes watching the YouTube tutorial on how to make a sitting down Pinkie Pie figure in sugar paste. Then I decided that the time had definitely not come. Maybe it's suitable for 30th birthday parties as well.
Another wish I had for a birthday cake theme, was Pirates and Princesses. In true feminist spirit, I never really got why in 2014, boys still automatically get pirate themes parties and the girls get princess ones when they're equally awesome themes.
Luckily, cupcake decorations for both pirates and princesses are much easier to come by than My Little Pony ones. I also had the luck of having the Trainee Housewife and her Little Lady over to help me prepare some really awesome cupcakes.
After an excellent lunch of Thomas the Tank Engine pasta and Swedish meatballs, we were ready to get to work. And 3 hours of intense cupcake making shortly followed.
There was no end to the creativity. Not only were there the very classic black pirate cupcakes and equally classic pink princess cupcakes - we also had princess and pirate weddings, princesses buried with crosses on their graves and pirates stranded on deserted islands with only a bottle of rum to keep them company.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; You are never too old for princesses or pirates.
