Seems as if parties lately have elevated themselves to an epic event sending DIY Mommies into a Pinterest induced tizzy, who have spent countless hours scouring Etsy for the ultimate invitations, goodie bags, banners and labels…and we LOOOOVE it!! Because THOSE parties need equally fabulous cakes and sweet treats to adorn the meticulously executed cake tables.

Meet GRAYSON…

This sweet little bugger just turned one. His Mama called us late in the game, but we jumped at the chance to make his smash cake, cupcakes, and cake pops. I mean- look at that face- how could we refuse!! (OK- so we hadn’t seem him before these adorable pics- but c’mon…FIRST birthdays only happen once…and this one had all the signs of being over the top !)

The smash cake is banana, covered in fondant, and decorated to match the birthday logo. We even did our best to write the birthday message in the same font! Grayson’s Mommy provided the paper picks for the white almond cupcakes (and ridiculously cute galvanized tiered stand!) as well as made the holders for our chocolate cake pops.  We think the whole look is just fab!

Funny how some kids dive in head first while others are a tad more…well…skeptical? of the cake!
