Happy 1st Birthday!

First Birthdays are always so special.  I'm not going to elaborate why...but being a Mommy, I can remember breaking out the notebook and starting to plan my kids 1st birthday as I did when I began to plan my wedding.  Color coded tabs, pictures of decoration ideas, party favor ideas and most of all the THEME! Themes to children's birthday parties are getting to be SO big! There are the princess themes, race car themes, trains, planes and characters. The list goes on and on!

Recently, a women requested a theme that I fell in love with.  The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  My kids love this book so  I was thrilled to make this cake.  She let me know the colors she was decorating with and the general idea of the cake and what she was looking for.  So...I went to work creating her vision! 

I first started by reading this loved book.  Getting some inspiration! Then I started to create the garnishes.  The fruit was one of the key features of this cake and an element that would make this cake distinct and adorable! 

The sun and Caterpillar were the other features that set this cake apart from just any ordinary cake! These two made their debut on top of the cake, center stage! 

Here us the finished product! 

This cake was a lot of fun to make and I was happy knowing that this made a little kids first birthday special! Happy 1st Birthday!
