Jack's first birthday polka dot chevron stripe cake!

It's been a whole year of happy delights, pat-a-cake days, and snug-a-hug nights since you and your sweet little peekaboo face made the world a more wonderful, giggle-filled place! Happy Birthday Jack!! xoxox

Here is little Jack's cake:

The bottom tier is carrot cake with white chocolate coconut cream cheese buttercream. Middle tier is one layer of dark chocolate fudge and one layer of almond with vanilla buttercream.  Top tier is dark chocolate fudge with orange buttercream.
Yum!!

 

The little guy wasn't sure what to think of it. He did eventually dig in and then promptly fell asleep afterwards.

Jack's smash cake with the party cake.  Surprisingly, nobody noticed that the smash cake was backwards in this pic.  Opps!

Alex is 1 - Farm themed first birthday & smash cake!

I've never met Alex, but his mother is a colleague of mine.  Alex isn't quite old enough to decide what kind of fabulous, awesome, fun birthday cake he wants, so his mom decided on a farm theme (similar to my little guy's 2nd bday cake).  She requested a sheep, a pig and a family of ducks with a farm themed cake - my signature chocolate cake with cookie-cream filling and vanilla buttercream.  Of course, she also needed a SMASH cake for little Alex.  I can't wait to see some photos of the little guy tearing into his first cake!

Here is the cake - The red barn is a sugar sheet and the rolling hills are SatinIce fondant, everything else is buttercream.

And here is Alex's "SMASH cake" - he gets this one all to himself, to smash like a birthday boy should on his first birthday! 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!
