More first birthday party!

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails - that's what little boys are made of.

But this cake and accompanying cupcakes are made of vanilla and chocolate and sugar, oh my!

6" smash cake in vanilla with buttercream, surrounded by vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, covered with smooth chocolate and vanilla frostings and ganaches.



The smash cake is baby blue fondant with red and white argyle and a white fondant dog bone.



Some cupcakes are topped with ganache and a royal icing bone shape. The others have a swirl of chocolate or baby blue vanilla frosting a chocolate sprinkles.



The verdict? Delicious.

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. :)
