Topsy Flopsy Circus Cake

I want a topsy flopsy circus cake, the four-year-old said. 
I had no idea how to create this, so I brought grandma in for a consult.
I’ll do it, she said. It’s a challenge. I’ll add all sorts of red.
His favorite color, she stated, it will be beautiful beyond a fault.

The cake was lovely, best of all, made by one of his favorite people.
It was whimsical, crazy, wild, colorful, and all sorts of kinds of fun. 
I love the way this circus tent falls over, and it has lost it’s steeple!
You get to make all of the birthday cakes until he turns twenty-one.

I can remember my mom baking (from scratch) birthday cakes for us. They were nothing exotic, but they were very, very special.

My mother put seven minute frosting on our birthday cakes, we had it no other time, it was scrumptiously delicious!
