First Birthday! – Owl Birthday Cake & Giant Cupcake

Last December, my good friend had her first baby . . . and named her London.  This baby and I were meant to be friends . . . since she was named after one of my favourite cities!  Despite the fact that she spit up all over my new LuLuLemon jacket during one of our first meetings, the love has stayed strong . . . albeit from a distance.  I would love to be able to spend time with this little sweetheart. 

She is the cutest, and most well behaved baby ever!  During her grand first birthday party, she was pretty much the only child under the age of two who wasn’t crying, yelling, or snotting!  I <3 her.  Other babies . . . not so much! 

Now, a year has gone by and she is a one year old!  

To celebrate, we provided the sweet treats!  I felt a lot of pressure providing the birthday cakes for such a sweet, amazing little girl, but I came through . . . with A LOT of cake, right Janine??

If you haven’t seen it before . . . you are about to experience something amazing!  A cupcake sandwich! 

 

 

 

 

Kim is a foodie genius!  

She separated the bottom of the cupcake, and put it on top of the icing!  

What could be more brilliant than that?!!  

I usually throw the bottom portion of unfilled cupcakes away, but now, I can enjoy the entire cupcake!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday London!  

We were happy to be a part of the special celebration.
