2001

Ben's third birthday, Mr. Potato Head

2002

Max's interest in video games and video making combined into a Kirby with a video camera.

Ben went with a classic four-year-old theme: pirate ships.

2003

Max had a Matrix-themed party, so his cake was dark with green letters drizzling down it.

Ben loved Superman more than anything else in the world.

2004

Max was into Homestarrunner.

Ben wanted a race car.

2005

Max is obsessed with all things Myst, so we made a replica of the Island in sweet treats.

Ben wanted an alien, which was a simple cake for a change.

2006 - Max

Max is still obsessed with Myst, so we made a cake with a few Riven-themed elements.

Later, we made another, on a traffic cone theme (hard to explain).

2006 - Ben

Ben draws a ton of comics featuring stick figures, including a planet that looks like a smiley face. His cake reflects that world (and includes his name on that planet).
