That’s ONE Big Cupcake!

by

This is before Little G got his hands on it. Literally.
Ain’t it cute? I LOVE this thing. (here’s the link to info on the pan) But not as much as I love my ONE-Year-Old! It’s still hard to believe that he is ONE but… it is true so let’s eat cake and celebrate, shall we?
Let me show you how Little G celebrated. I think I will start with this photo actually.

Gee, wonder how he ended up here. Walk with me. I will be happy to show you!

Here he is all nice and clean (at least I had the forethought to remove the nice shirt he was wearing…)

And off he goes…



I finally cut him off. He ate a lot more frosting than cake. And, I guess he sort of used it as body lotion too. Nice.

Little G had a great party. His friend Graham came and brought his Mommy, Jennifer.

(Actually Jen is my friend from college, but we are sure the boys will be friends!)

The Paparazzi was there too (also known as Grandpa & Great-Grandad)

One of our friends, G, found a nice spot on the train table…

And big brother had fun playing with the beach ball favors.

Of course there were presents to open.

This one was enjoyed by all the kids.

There you have it. Little G is ONE now! You know, it’s not really official until you have a party. Thanks to all our family and friends who were able to join us to celebrate his first year!

*** Update just to say that yes, I did make the giant cupcake! The pan bakes the top and the bottom at the same time and then you put the two pieces together. Here’s the link to it on the Tar-jay website. Very fun!***

  19. I think I would have done the same thing to that cupcake if someone put that in front of me. Beautiful job! I love that pan – I actually bought the pan that makes 4 smaller versions of that cupcake. I can’t wait to use it!

  20. So many kiddos are hesitant to dive into their first birthday cake – I love it that he really went for it! What FUN! That cupcake is too cool, you rock for making that! I was just going to ask where you bought it, when I saw your update!

  23. That cake is really cute and so are all the pictures of the Birthday boy – Happy Birthday to your sweet boy!!

  25. Oh mu gosh, that is a HUGE cupcake! He dove right into it! Harrison was very hesitant about trying his cake on his first birthday. Not any more.

  26. That is one giant cupcake and a gorgeous one at that. Little G made sure he enjoyed his very first birthday cake and good on him for doing so. It must have been so much fun watching him getting stuck into his cake.

    Looks like he had a great day surrounded by family and friends.

    Love
