My 3 yr old son sits down with me every day and has me go through "all the cake pictures" to find Spiderman cakes that we are making for his "big boy birthday at the church".
He just had a birthday in June... 
My little planner! |

I have to agree because my son will be 6 in December and it took a lot of time looking at the galleries here to get him decided on an idea. Then I realized that he just likes looking at the pictures with me!  |

Great job on the cake!
My son was very exacting like that also, it's phase they go thru, I think.
I used to call my son "Small Sir" when he was that age. He wanted things a certain way. 
I also used to refer to him as my "man in training'.
He is now 13, and a very sweet kid. He is thrilled to lick the beaters and have cake scraps. And he insists they "taste better every time."

You did the most fantastic job! My son is just as picky when it comes to details. It will be a wonderful trait when he's older, but sometimes it drives me crazy..."where are the 50 tiny details on the NASCAR Mommy? You could draw them with edible ink or make them out of fondant!!" YIKES.
Your cake is SO terrific! I absolutely love it and hope that next year he'll want a Discovery Channel cake (also our favorite channel!!) so I can copy this one!!!  |

That is a PRECIOUS story, make sure you copy it and put it in your son's memory book... and the cake!!! You've never made figures?! It is a masterpiece. You have a very lucky little boy! |

That cake is fabulous, Glad my kids are all grown up or my youngest son would be wanting a cake like that. As it is my 20yr old daughter told me after looking in an old wilton book that I'd better be doing a lot of practicing on string work for when she gets married I can put it on her cake.
Children love the things thier moms can do no matter what age they are. |

He started with the penguin cake for his 3rd birthday when he asked for penguins, an igloo, a fish, polar bears, and snowballs. He got everything but the polar bears and the snowballs. He has been out of control ever since. lol But now if I say I don't think I can pull it off he gets out the fondant and makes something himself and says, see mom it's easy! haha Oh well at least he forces me to challenge myself right?
