Our sweet little friend, Miss Ellie O., is turning 1 this month! Her birthday party is this Sunday afternoon and we're making her cupcakes! We also MAY have the opportunity to make our first baby shower cake! We have wanted to try a baby shower or child's birthday cake for awhile, so you can imagine our delight when we got two opportunities on the same weekend!
Unfortunately, I'm going to miss it.
(Of course I'm really not complaining at all because Lee and I are heading to the beach with Ben and Bethany for a few days, and we've been looking forward to it ALL summer!!!)
We are spending all of our evenings this week getting ready for the weekend since Mallory will be going solo on the actual cake assembly! There's so much to do to get everything ready... choosing a final design, purchasing all the ingredients, making the fondant and buttercream, tinting the icing and creating the templates for the shapes of the cakes... Getting two cakes done with half the team will be no small feat!!!
