Happy Birthday to Xander

Xander is turning 4, and I can hardly believe it.  We celebrated this year with a treasure hunt.  I made little clues and left them around the house for Xander to use to find his birthday presents.  He was so excited when he figured out the clues by himself.  At the end of the hunt was a real treasure box that I found on Etsy and stuffed with various treasures.

His cake this year was a Minecraft cake. Dolphin had the idea of using rice crispe treats.  I'm not particularly found of the rice crispe treats and making this cake made me even less so.  The cake is made of chocolate rice crispe squares for dirt, green frosting for grass, vanilla rice crispe squares for sand, cake dipped in grey colored white chocolate ganache for stone, butterscotch candy for gold, red sprinkles for red stone, rock candy for coal, chocolate truffles and icing for spiders, and blue jello for water. Ugh, too much sugar!  I'm glad Xander liked it though.
