It has been a while, but I had a lot of fun learning with this one. A friend of mine asked me to make a cake for her daughter's 1st birthday. She had 3 words; Pink, Flowers, and Butterflies. So this is what I came up with
That caked had pearl dust EVERYWHERE! I love it. The butterflies, while a pain, were really fun. I drew butterfly wings on some parchment paper, taped it to the counter, then outlined multiple wings on wax paper with some thinned out royal icing.
I didn't really like the cake after I had iced it. I was exhausted and delirious so it didn't turn out as smooth as I had hoped. When I put all of the decorations on it (Pearl strings, flowers and butterflies) the next day, it really came together. It turned out to be such a cute cake
So every baby in my family, (and I assume a lot of peoples families) when they turn 1, gets to sit in front of a cake and take the first bites...or fist fulls of cake. I don't know where this tradition started, but I like it.
This is the first time I have heard of having a whole photo shoot for this "Cake Smash". and I must say, I like the idea. I mean look at how cute the pictures turned out!
They were taken by Stolen Hearts Photography whose Facebook page you can find Here. I have been able to look at some of her stuff and I like it. I mean, look at these cute pictures.
Of course the baby is quite adorable too. I was told that she loved the cake. Went strait for the butterflies.
I absolutely love this picture!
