MJ turns ONE

For my son's first birthday I choose a Sock Monkey theme. I designed his smash cake to match the invitation we sent out, a sock monkey on the top and argyle on the side in red, blue and brown.
 

 
Love this color scheme!
 
 
Not so sure about frosting....or cake.

 
For the cupcakes:
Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Regular size Banana Cupcakes with Vanilla and Nutella Swirl Buttercream
Topped with handmade marshmallow fondant Sock Monkey's

Guess How Much I Love You

This is probably one of my favorite cakes I've made so far.
 
The theme was from the children's book "Guess How Much I Love You".
 
 
I actually painted this cake!
It's all hand painted.
I used the gel colors, water and paint brushes.  
Lucky for me, my son has this book so I was able to use it to find a good scene to paint and use lines from the book to quote around the sides.
