2nd Birthday

We celebrated my baby girls birthday party on Saturday because we had family in town. We had a ballerina theme because she loves to dance and sing. I wanted to do a tutu cake for her but ran out of time with all the events in that weekend. So this is what we ended up with but it was way cute still and it tasted amazing too. The cake was a strawberry cake made with fresh strawberries. Yum! Something we needed since it's so dang cold outside still. Maybe on friday I will attempt a small tutu cake for her actual birthday to make myself happy and satisfied.

If I took all the credit for this cake I would be very dishonest. My sister-in-law helped make the lion because I was on a time crunch. I felt horrible though because it was for her baby shower. But she did offer to help and in the end it was way fun to do. Her baby room is going to be jungle themed and so we did a jungle baby shower. With lions and giraffes, and monkeys. I made chocolate suckers in the monkey shape mold and I painted on all the details and then forgot to take a picture but they were way cool and time consuming.
