The cake that started it all...

I first started my cake baking/decorating obsession last summer while trying to decide what to do for my sweet little boy Rhett's first birthday. I am serious when I obsessed about invitations and the cake for months! I think I first started trying to decide in May, his birthday is October 30. hahaha! yep i am that nutty!

So what I finally decided on was an invitation called peeking friends. It was a cute little invitation with little animal heads along the bottom of the card. All of the animals were wearing party hats. I went back and forth trying to decide what was the best way to make it work without looking fruity or like a wedding cake. I planned to make each of the animal heads in fondant to put on the cake. Here is a picture of the fondant heads with the invitation - too cute huh?!



















Here is the finished product - My first cake!
