Julie is a big one year old now!! We had a little party with family to celebrate. The main event being the baby feasting on a giant cake of course. Julie has so many little girl cousins that it was a lot of fun to have a princess themed party.
I had a lot of fun making this cake. The flowers and crown are gum paste. The hardest part was keeping a steady hand to smooth the frosting dress instead of just doing fondant! (So worth it to let little hands get sticky!) The inspiration came from a cake my mom made me when I was 8 yrs old. I still remember that as being my favorite cake of all time. 
Cupcakes for everyone else!

She started out slow but got into it more as she tasted the sweet frosting :)
This is when we decided it was time to get cleaned up!! Frosting was EVERYWHERE! It was a great birthday and I still can't believe Julie is one year old!
I am so very behind on my blogging- there are tons more pics to come and of course there are MANY updates on Julie's development. Next blog coming soon...
