A birthday party means birthday cake! I made two desserts for Paul's birthday party, both firsts for me: ice cream cake and individual pineapple upside-down cakes!



I have a rule that I don't prepare any recipe for a party that I haven't tried first, but I've been crazed and just had no time to try these out beforehand. I did at least make them both a couple of days ahead of time, so that disasters could be fixed, if necessary. Fortunately it wasn't necessary in either case. The pineapple upside-down cakes disappeared before I could get a morsel, but I can honestly say the batter was good! I did get a piece of the ice cream cake and I was very pleased!
