Chris' birthday was last week--unfortunately we didn't get to celebrate it (yet) the way we had planned because our babysitter didn't want to get stuck at our house all weekend by the snow. We did still try to make it a birthday weekend for him...and made this cake.
Now you may be wondering if we have mice or if I do some strange taste-testing...but what actually happened is that I set them out to cool and then went to do some laundry. While I was in the laundry room folding I noticed that Abe was making such happy and contented noises, no screams of frustration or calls for "Mama"...I should have been worried because this isn't my first time with a 20 month old but instead I was just glad he was playing happily alone.
And he was, happily eating cake! He'd found a stool and scooting it all the way across the room so he could reach the cake and was happily shoveling it into his mouth as fast as he could. We just piled on the icing and it all worked out, but I'm thinking this kid won't sit at a table for an entire meal before noticing the ice cream shake the way Gus once did!
We had a similar "cake predator" at my daughter's 2nd birthday. I really thought I had put it high enough that she couldn't reach, but she put her playground climbing practice to good use.

No mountain is high enough when there is food and one of my hungry gals involved.
