First Birthday Party!

Today's cakes are a family affair.

A and his cousin, A, are both turning 1 year old this month. We had a joint party for them, which meant: two cakes!

For Cousin A, a 6" pink polka dot smash cake. Vanilla cake with buttercream filling, covered in pastel pink fondant, accented with darker pink fondant dots and white beading at the bottom.



I added a variety of vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with pink buttercream and chocolate frosting on the tiers beneath the cake.



For A, something similar in light blue with darker blue squares in the same flavors.





A is a very happy birthday boy. :)

Black Forest Cupcakes

Absolutely fantastic! Rich chocolate cake is stuffed with a cherry compote and topped with sweet whipped cream and chocolate shavings. The perfect flavor combination. ($2.00/cupcake; one dozen minimum order)
