My friend Sarah's baby shower was last weekend, and I volunteered to make the cake. She had requested a butterfly theme to celebrate her new baby girl. I went with this:
I loved how colorful it was. I used a vanilla french buttercream on the outside of the cake, and some butterflies I bought when Shannon and I went to Oblation. I attached the butterflies to skewers of different heights, and tada! Done. It reminded me of the rainbow cake I made earlier this summer with Zach's mom and our niece. This one, not so fancy, but very fun.
But my favorite colorful cake of all is this one. Designed for an art party, this cake is so simple. I want to make it really badly- really, I want to throw the whole art gallery party. (I love all the details, like the crayons in the invitation). This party was featured on Hip Hip Hooray, which, if you are into kid's parties, is the best site ever.
I think my mind is on parties because it is about time to begin planning Tate's first birthday. Can you believe it? Me neither. But it has my mind humming...
