Sandcastles and one year olds

On July 23rd, Toot Sweet Cupcakes celebreated a very special little boys birthday. It was especially sweet because C and the Lil' Cupcake are such good friends. C's mom and I were both on maternity leave at the same time and spent many a days with playdates, strolls through the mall with our matching strollers and diaper bags, and just hanging out.

Mr. C's mom asked me to create a sand castle cake with vanilla cake, bavarian cream filling and covered in fondant. To make it a bit more special, we added some chocolate seashells, which Mr. C immediately grabbed off and ate - before he even blew out his candle.

Happy Birthday Little Dude C, I hope you had a very happy birthday. To see pictures of Mr. C's cake smash check out the lovely Taryn Laine Photography.
