			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week was my daughter&#8217;s 1st birthday &#8211; and being her first birthday, I wanted to get her a special cake to mark the occasion! While I agree elaborate birthday cakes are probably for the parent&#8217;s to oooh and ahh over, I tried to pick a character that she at least recognised &#8211; Hoot the Owl, from <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/children/giggleandhoot/">ABC&#8217;s Giggle and Hoot</a>. </p>
<p>I found <a href="http://www.treatbox.com.au">Treat Box</a> via a late night Google search, and after a few pain free emails to Dots &#038; Mitch, our custom birthday cake was quoted for and ordered. The night before the party, I picked up the cake from a nearby Sydney location and was so impressed to see what was inside my treat box &#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://sh1ft.org/babyblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/treatbox_custom_kids_cake_001.jpg" alt="" title="treatbox_custom_kids_cake_00" width="580" height="580" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-875" /><br />
<em>Custom Hoot the Owl (Giggle &#038; Hoot on ABC tv) birthday cake, Sydney</em></p>
<p><span id="more-871"></span></p>
<p>We ordered the buttercream frosting on a vanilla flavoured cake &#8211; and it was <em>devoured</em> by everyone there. Not too sweet so the kiddies don&#8217;t get a sugar rush, but tasty enough for all the adults to want seconds too!</p>
<p><img src="http://sh1ft.org/babyblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/treatbox_custom_kids_cake_01.jpg" alt="" title="treatbox_custom_kids_cake_01" width="580" height="580" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-876" /></p>
<p>Hoot the Owl was so cute, that I still have him sitting in fridge &#8211; I don&#8217;t want to let him go! </p>
<p>If you are looking for a <a href="http://www.treatbox.com.au">celebration cake</a>, <a href="http://www.treatbox.com.au">a custom kid&#8217;s birthday cake</a> or any other treat in Sydney &#8211; please stop by <a href="http://www.treatbox.com.au">Treat Box</a> and place your order.</p>
