Boy’s 1st birthday cake

This cake was enormous! And a bit out of the ordinary for a first birthday, which I love.

There was tons of piping which took ages but I was pleased with the result. The ‘1’ was polystyrene covered in Disco Baby Blue.

At the last minute I slightly changed the design and decided to make a sugar crown cake topper – I found loads of girly crowns on the internet but no boys ones so had to make it up as I went along. I will post how I did it later this week.

    I love how the tiers in the cake are not only graduated in diameter, but also in thickness and color – amazingly clever design. Love it

      Thank you – Rehan’s Mum was very clear about what design she wanted but was open to ‘artistic interpretation’ which was great!
