Monday is my son, Jake’s 27th birthday.
First of all – how did that happen? Where did the time go?! I feel like I’m still 27, so how could my “child” be 27?
Anyway – when trying to decide what to get Jake for his birthday, we thought money was what he would appreciate most.
But I hate just writing a check or enclosing money in a card.
I need to be a bit more creative and personal than that.
So here is what I made for Jake. A birthday money cake!
I think this is a cake even pie lovers would like – right?!
It really was quite simple to make.
The layers are stryofoam discs with rolled dollar bills pinned to them.
I then made a “bow” from a $20, a $5, and two $1 bills to represent 27 years. The layers are covered with 100 $1 bills.
I used an 8″ piece for the bottom “layer,” then two 6″ ones glued together (they were not as high as the others, and I wanted to create more height), and the top is a 4″ piece.
I finished it off with some ribbon and poked 27 candles in too.
So – is Jake going to love it or is he going to want to shoot me for making him work so hard to take it apart to get his money???
I’m guessing the latter, but that makes me smile. 🙂
And I think Colleen will get a kick out of it.
Yep – these are the things I do at
life in between.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between
