Fall is the time for birthdays around here--a whirlwind of them. Just for fun this year we decided to celebrate a confirmation and a birthday on the same day. I wouldn't recommend it, but it all worked out okay.
Our first birthday celebration of this post wasn't a traditional birthday cake with candles sort of affair. My son wanted to celebrate his 12th birthday with a Redwall-themed party-- a feast, in fact. That meant we had food from the Redwall books and the Redwall cookbook he received as an early present. We had things like
Hotroot Soup and
Deeper 'n Ever Turnip ' Tater 'n Beetroot Pie. We also had desserts featured in the books.

The party was fun, and some of the recipes were "keepers."
I went for an easy cake on the day of the confirmation. The little tyke wanted a construction cake, and a construction cake he got.
