josh was being so difficult this year about this birthday (pretty sure 27 is his scary age)
so we did away with my big party plan (it's ok, there is always next year) and celebrated just the three of us with the big DC snow storm that came in this weekend.
i made josh a homemade cheeseburger cake (i don't recommend making fondant from scratch, my fondant tomatoes never worked and it's a miracle the fondant cheese turned out at all.... my poor kitchen. and self esteem.) and yes, kingsley is in every photo because we love him and are happy he's making a swift recovery from his hospital visit last week.

looks like the happiest time! you three are darling...
I'm so sorry the fondant didn't work out! I think it might just take a lot of practice. The cake looks really great, though! Don't be discouraged, you're wonderful!
oh my gosh! I thought you'd had that cake professionally made for him- go you!!! I'm super impressed :)
and happy birthday to josh!
Kingsley looks adorable - he has the same expression in every picture. "Really Mom?". Too cute. Happy birthday to your hubby and you did an amazing job on that cake!!!
The cake looked incredible! Did you take any photos of Kingsley in the snow?
Oh my goodness I don't think I've ever seen cuter pictures!! SO PRECIOUS! Good job :)
What a cool cake!! And look at how big kingsley is getting :p I'm happy to hear he's getting better now!!
love your pictures and that cake looks amazing, well done :)
that is pretty darn awesome.
What a rockstar birthday ! I love the cake, amazing idea
Wonderful job on that cake! Looks delicious!
Hoping Josh had a wonderful birthday!
your cake is amazing!!!
ummmm I absolutely adore the cake, you've inspired me to try makeing my own cake with fondant someday :)
first off, the cake looks huge!! lol and secondly, looks like you did a great job!
I'm pretty sure you get the wife of the year award for making this cake. I am so impressed and amazed at how HUGE it is! It will take you guys a month to eat that by yourselves! It's beautiful, and bravo for doing this homemade. He's a lucky husband.
That cake is awesome!! You did such a great job, Naomi! I love your sweater in that photo as well :)
p.s. glad Kingsley is happy and better!
love that cake!

Yuum, cheeseburger.... I'm glad Kingsley is doing okay.
Wow! Your cake turned out awesome!
And Kingsley looks adorable as always! :-)
That cake is amazing!
holy moly that cake is amazing!
absolutely love it!
that's an amazing cake!! Holy cow!!
very impressive cake!
The cake came out gorgeous. Happy Birthday, Josh!
They sell ready made Marzipan in the grocery store baking aisle that I'm almost positive does the same thing as fondont. At least that's what I read in my Martha Stewart cupcake book. Maybe you can try that? It still came out wonderful.
Oh, and don't apologize for Kingsley pictures. Who doesn't like looking at a super cute puppy?
So glad to see Kingsley is much better. So cuter our little bully friend :) Some of the best birthdays ever are the ones like these. I feel the same way about fondant. A horrible experience for me!
That cake is a work of art, dear!
that cake looks awesomeeeeee. much better than a real cheesburger
Oh my goodness, how did you make that cake? It looks so cool!! So glad to see Kingsley back home with you and getting better. Have a good week.. ;)
the cake turned out great!!!!!
I feel him - I think 27 is going to be my scary year too. I don't even like being 26!
the cake looks great!
That cake is so incredible! You are one talented lady!
That cake is fantastic!! What a talented lady you are my dear! :)
wow! if you never said a word about having trouble with your fondant, I would have sworn this was a gourmet store-bought ace of cakes kinda cake! great job, lady!
Kingsley looks....dubious? about his party attire.
omg! what a cute cake!! =)
Oh my goodness! That's the craziest cake ever! Great job.
wow! that cake is amazing! your cake skills are most definitely impressive to me!!
Happy Birthday to your sweet husband.
Lol I think the cake looks great! You are so creative!
PS SO glad Kingsley is feeling better! He looks tons better without the cone!
He is getting so big! (Josh, too!)
haha, THAT is a serious cake!! My hat goes off to you. It looks like it required a lot of patience!
ohh my your pup just gets cuter and cuter! I heart his wrinkly face.
You are a champion for making that cake. It looks great (and not to mention tasty).
That is quite possibly the coolest cake I've ever seen! Happy Birthday Josh!
I think the cake looks great!! you did a fine job!! - oh, and i absolutely LOVE that birthday card! Where did you find such a thing?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!
Your bully is too cute! She looks just like mine did when she was a little pup!
Mine won't let me celebrate his birthday either, Jan. 27. Maybe because it is depth of winter and they just want to hibernate? I don't know. I have a June birthday and ALWAYS want to celebrate. Maybe that's the difference, or part of it.
Okay, I am the biggest DORK in the world because my phone was taking forever for the pictures to load and I didn't know what fondant was....so I seriously thought you made a cake out of HAMBURGER...as in ground beef and ketchup...thankfully, the pictures loaded, I googled "fondant", and I saw that you made one of the cutest cakes I've ever seen :)
Wow! Great cake Naomi! & the fondant didn't work? Really... cuz from here it looks like it did... first thing I noticed on the photos was the cheese as I was like "oh she must've used fondant" (which I thought you bought...) but you made it?! YOU GO GIRL! :)
I can't believe you made that cake! It looks amazing. I don't have the guts to tackle fondant. Glad you guys had a good time.
p.s. 27 is also my scary age!
that card is perfect! and i love the cheeseburger cake!!
Seriously impressed that you made that cake yourself. I can barely ice a cupcake, let alone fashion a cheeseburger out of a cake!
you have gotta be freaking kidding me with how cute that cake is. precious.
the perfect cake. i hope you have leftovers? *wink*
i think the cake is rockin'!
hey, i've been wondering. where did you get the name taza from? and also, I think you should do a feature on your apartment. it's so cute from what i can see in the background.
OMG - that cake is AWESOME! My hubs would lurve it!!! Glad Kingsley's looking well!

that cake is amazing! AMAZING! you're a rockstar. happy birthday to your josh.
fabulous cake!!!
THAT IS SO AWESOME!!
Now THAT is my kind of birthday :)
Cake is ridiculously cool, and the dog is SO cute!!!
Happy 27th, Josh! It'll be a great year :)
That is the most amazing cake ive ever seen! looks like a lot of fun sometimes just staying with your loved ones is better than a big party.
I love your blog :)

that cake is impressive!! I can't believe you made that! Sometimes low-key, family-only birthdays are the best! Happy belated birthday Josh!
Everything about this post made me happy but That photo where the candles are being blown out and Kingsley looks like he is blowing too killed me (in a good way)
Happy Birthday Josh!
that cake is hilarious, i love it even more knowing that you made it. i don't know girl , think that the tomatoes turned out pretty well.
and i'm glad that the little ninja is on the mend... he looks like he's grown in just this past week.crazy.
happy monday!
that's one heck of a birthday cake!! (:
That cake is stinkin' incredible. NICE work.
Thats the best burger cake I've seen! I made cupcakes and even they were a lot of work, haha. Kingsley is so big! Glad he's feeling better :)
Burger cake! It looks amazingly wonderful!
that cake is so cute! i hear fondant is hard to make and deal with! so glad kingsley is making a recovery! when my pup was sick our lives stood still until she recovered!
great cake :)
You have some talent
That burger cake is seriously amazing! Happy (belated) birthday to Josh!
NAOMI! the cake looks fantastic!!!!! your self-esteem should be bursting right now!!!!
I love the cake and Kingsley in that hat is the cutest thing ever.
Oh wow your husband must have been SO impressed! Don't beat yourself up too much about that fondant - it doesn't taste good anyways!
Wow, delicious!!!!!
How long does it take to make the fondant from scratch?
I love the colors on your walls. We're about to paint, and it's really hard finding colors that are "us." We only know that we want a gray color similar to yours. Do you have any recommendations?
My girls and I are big fans of "The Cake Boss" so I am REALLY impressed with that cake! Fabulous job! You should be very proud.
Kingsley is getting so big so fast, it looks like you won't be able to lift him soon! Sadders.
Happy Birthday to Josh - my 27th was a really, REALLY hard one too! (Which is wieird .. why 27? But it WAS!)
that cake is even fit for rockstars.
you are an amazing chef on top of everything else! happy birthday to josh!!
That is the BEST cake ever! And you made that? Geeze, Louise! You're amazing.
Are you kidding me! That cake is AMAZING! You should open up a shop.
Not that I don't think you're great, but if Kingsley wasn't in every photo I might be sad.
He's SO cute!
cheeseburger cake=best idea ever.
Pff, that cake looks amazing!!
The cake turned out great! Did you follow a decorating recipe or just do it yourself? I love it!
I love the Cheeseburger cake...you are too cute!!
Oh my gosh, this is such a cute birthday! Kingsley is too adorable with that hat on!
awwww wow that cake is amazing! talented girl.
i love the cake you did a great job!!
oh my gawd that is the best looking cake evaaaaaaaaaar!!! LOVE IT!
And Kingsley is getting so big!
yum yum yum! that must've taken forever to finish. if it's even finished, that is.
http://steampunkdolls.blogspot.com
that has to be the best cake...EVER!!!
love!
j.
you did such an excellent job with the burger cake! i love it! also, adore the card!
Happy Birthday Josh and very happy to see Kingsley is recovering nicely and stylishly!
i can't believe everyone is agreeing that 27 is a scary age! 27??!!! twenty-freaking-seven?! it's a magical age. it is the age of pure fun and enchantment. i loved that age and every year just gets better! our culture is sad what a big deal we make of aging, in a negative way. josh looks like a boy still! he needn't worry. plus he has the love of his life by his side making him wonderful treats and a precious baby pup to be happy with! CELEBRATE AWAY CRAZIES!!!
I'm super impressed by your cake! It is soooo cute! And I'm so glad that Kingsley is feeling better. :)
OH MY GOODNESS! This is soo cute! I couldn't imagine a more perfect birthday party for you two! Fetching adorable!
freaking amazing cake. DUDE.

What a cute cake and I can totally relate to 27 being a scary age...it's 3 years away from 30! AHHH!
Oh and I am happy that you're beloved Kingsly is getting better!
That cake is awesome!!! I thought you'd ordered it.
Josh looks kinda sad in the pictures. Age is only a number. Tell him to cheer up! He already has his degree and a job that allowed him to move his small family to DC. I'm 27 and still working on my degree, with a 3 year old! :P
Hope he had a great b-day.

that cake is epic.
you guys make me happy. love your little family photos.

that is so cool! My family always does hamburger cakes for our birthdays, and it is so fun! We use shredded coconut for our lettuce, and we use green food color. And for the bun we use pound cake, and put honey on the bun and the sprinkle sesame seeds on it. Its so yummy :P
That cake looks AMAZING! And Kingsley looks like such a sweet little pup!
naomi, that is the craziest homemade cake i have ever seen. ever. wow. i am standing and applauding.
That cake is amazing! I'm impressed!!
great looking cake. now i want cake too.
I love the little "seeds" on top...and your cake plate. Where did it come from?
naomi, your cake turned out AWESOME! seriously. and that's really crazy, my cousin just did an entire burger theme for her little one year olds birthday last month. only, she made burger cupcakes. i was in awe over them, and i am now in awe over your cake. totally love the creativity. i'm sure the three of you had a dazzling time celebrating without any big party.
i am freaking out over how badass that cake is. nicely done!!
Oh girl you should make and sell your cakes. That thing is beautiful (and huge BTW, hopefully you planned to share!).
And we like seeing Kingsley in every photo... not that you and Josh are not cute, but Kingsley sure knows how to make a girls heart beat. Love that photo of him in the birthday hate. What a doll!
That cake is amazing! You ARE a total rockstar.
I love following your blog from Bangkok. You make me smile. Bring back the Happy Lists!

Cute cake! My little girl won't let me scroll of the page with Kingsley in a hat! She thinks he is the cutest doggy she's ever seen.
Amazing little party! I love the card.
I think the cake looks great. Bravo for even attempting to make it. I would of been too scared and so would my kitchen!!! Looks like you guys had a great time! Glad Kingsley is doing better!
this is awesome. completely. you can also make cupcakes that look like burgers, which might be easier for my lack of kitchen prowess. but major points to you for getting this done!
omg what a cake, never seen something like this before. amazing. haha and kingsley looks cute.
no!
that is amazing!!!!!!!
That is an awesome cake! I just turned 27 on February 1, and I have to say, I think this was my scary birthday too. I was dreading it, but it ended up being one of my best!
