I'd like ten cupcakes for my boy's first birthday party. Are you certain, fine sir? Your little boy's first birthday party is something that'll never come again. You want to make sure he'll always remember how much his poppa adored him, don't you? Do you want him to see photos of the party one day and think his daddy only had cupcake-sized love for him? If you really loved him, you'd surprise him with our five-foot-tall oversized cake with animatronic dancing gerbil candles and gummy penguin lol
