Giraffe Cake Cuteness!

Last night, I spent about six hours working on our friends' daughter's first birthday cake. It was made to match the invitations for her birthday party - that I had designed - and those invitations matched her birth announcements from a year earlier.

I think the main cake turned out pretty ok!



I'm less pleased with her little smash cake, but as it was 12:30 and she is just going to SMASH IT, I decided not to fret. But to me, it looks like it should be called, "Communicable Christmas Cake":



Here are the two cakes together:



Smash cake kind of looks like it has M&Ms all over it from above like that...

And here is a picture from Potent Notables of her birth announcement...no picture of the birthday invitation just yet, though.

Sara Katherine would have gone NUTS. She loves giraffes. Everything is adorable, and I wouldn't have expected less - I'd have a hard time smashing the smash cake. :)

As usual, stupendously cute! You are really talented. I love this cake b/c it reminds me of the cake for my shower when I was pregnant with Holdyn. Do you remember it? All the animals. And you made the lollipops to match? I still have those in his baby box!
