If you're thinking about throwing a blowout birthday bash for your up-and-coming little Picasso, consider making a paintable cake like this one featured on Sweetapolita!
Featuring peanut butter Swiss meringue buttercream, a thin layer of jam, and chocolate cake with a fondant frosting, this PB&J crowd-pleaser can be painted on with a non-toxic luster or pedal dust mixture (found on Amazon) once the fondant has been chilled. Perfect for preschoolers and up, we're sure this is one idea that will have everyone busy at work before the special day's big meal! Recipes and a great pictorial are included on the site -- as Mama Rosie puts it, "Peanut butter and meringue? That is so right." Can't argue there!
