My friend Kathy had this great idea - to make Birthday plates for our sons - a plate they can have their birthday cake on every year. Last week we went to Glazes in Carmel and painted plates for Carson and Quinn. It was a great time! We got the plates back yesterday. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Except (yes I am a perfectionist) for the fact that I chose to paint the cake white, without realizing that the white paint wouldn't show up once the plate was glazed and fired. If I had known that, I would have outlined the sides of the cake or painted the cake a different color, but too late now. Chris says it just makes the plate look more artistic. The sides of the cake are implied. Mostly, though I am very happy with my first attempt at ceramic plate design and excited to use it on Carson's 1st birthday!

We have had that tradition in our family for as long as I can remember. We even now have a birthday plate for Alexandre as well.
It's a fun!
