Brazilian Birthday Party

During our year in Brazil, the mainstay of our social life was deeply rooted in 5 year old birthday parties.  Children invite the whole class and they don’t hold back.  It’s common to hire an entertainer to play various games, paint faces, and generally keep the kids happy while the adults visit.  But this cake and its rocket candle took it to a whole new level.
