How cool am I, oh I mean Alex's 3rd b'day party

I am so proud of the cake I made for Alex's birthday party. The boys and I went to Joanne Fabric to pick up some stuff when Alex saw the tin for this cake and had to have it for his party. I said that I didn't think I could make it, but Alex said that I could and it would be wonderful (one of his favorite adjectives)
It's Lightning McQueen! and Alex thought it was perfwec (his version of perfect).
The cake rose funny in the middle, so after I pulled it out of the oven I cut it off to make is level. For some reason I saved the piece and while I was trying to get Matt to go back to sleep (from midnight to 5 am) I thought of what I could do with it. Alex wanted to help with Lightning McQueen so badly and he was so good about not touching it while I was working on it that I let him frost the extra piece. He did a great job, I just added some to get all of the edges and put on the decorations.
It's the new road! "I bet the roads on the moon ain't this smooth." I put the dotted line down the middle of it and Mater and Lightning McQueen toothpicks driving on it. Alex picked out the candles himself. He thought it was so cool that he could have his name spelled in candles. Of course, he still needed his 3 blue candles right behind them.
Okay, so I didn't make these, but I did pick out the pictures and messages to put on them and placed the order. I hope everyone can tell, they say "Happy Birthday" and "Alex is 3" and they have Alex's picture on them. It has 2 different pictures, it's just hard to tell them apart. I only know because I picked them. Alex got the biggest kick out of telling everyone that we had M&Ms with Alex on them. I'm not sure why he said "Alex" instead of 'me', but it was really cute.
