Camden has a fondness for giraffes and I used his blue giraffe as a model for his cake topper. This being the first fondant figure I ever made, I think it turned out great!
I was going for an ombre look to the cakes but as I started decorating I realized two things. One, I am out of practice with cake decorating. Two, I have no energy or time to spend decorating a cake all day. So, I improvised and in the end, was semi-happy with the results.
It was all planned at the last minute really and we are so happy that Monika, Daniel and baby Luke could make it. Dave and Sue joined us as well. Poor Auntie Cathy, who really wanted to be with us, was not feeling well and had to stay away.
Camden skipped his morning nap and we were not sure he would be awake to smash his cake, but he persevered and made it through (looking very tired though).
This was taken while we sang Happy Birthday.
This picture shows you the decorations behind his highchair (Thanks for the picture Monika)
Here are the cake pictures....he wasn't sure what to make of the smash cake and needed a little help digging in. Once he had a taste of icing, there was no stopping him though.
And this was all that was left when Cam was done with the cake....
Present time....still not into ripping wrapping paper. A firestation from Dave and Sue and the classic pull along telephone from Monika and Daniel. Thank you all so much!
Though unplanned, it turned into a really nice day for my Birthday Boy! Yay!
