For Quincy's birthday cake I decided to actually make a cake rather than purchase one (which is kind-of a big-deal as I really don't like to cook).
I ended up making a cake in the shape of an alligator. No reason other than I thought it was cute. We placed one of the fire-works candles that we brought home from China on it. The candle begins as a large, single flame and then opens to multiple lit petals while the birthday song starts playing from some portion in the middle of the candle. She was just fascinated by the whole thing and kept looking to myself and Tim and smiling. We ended up cutting a small piece for her. However, she didn't want to actually eat it; but she did love playing with it.
