I had no idea what to do for Audreys first birthday cake! I sorta just made this up as I went along…
It was pretty easy to do, just lines up the side meeting on the top.
I think if I were to do this cake again, I would pay more attention to detail and make sure everything was symmetrical and straight!





Looks yummy! Happy Birthday Audrey! How’s Mama doing celebrating her little one’s first birthday?! It is always bittersweet for me. Sniff. Sniff.
This is just too cute, I LOVE the layers and the pink, pink, pink! My girls would go ga-ga over this. Fabulous.
Great job! Glad she had a great day!
Looks fantastic! What a pretty cake inside and out!
Delicious and beautiful! What more could you want?!?!
Yeah – I was just going to say that your lines should have been more symmetrical.
WHATEVER!
It’s adorable and amazing!! Nice work!!
That is so beautiful! Wow, I’m so inspired by that cake right now. I wish I had a little girl so I could make her a pink one.
So darling! Icing strings are my worst nightmare. I can never get them to look nice–good work!!!
simple but adorable!!!
Happy Birthday Audrey!
Wow! What a beautiful cake. Is that buttercream frosting? I tried chocolate buttercream frosting for the first time on Gary’s birthday this past Thursday. It was pretty good! Did you use 3 cake mixes for this one? This cake looks a lot taller then the ones you usually make.
So glad you all had fun on Audrey’s birthday. Looks like she had a blast too!
It’s so elegant! What a lucky girl
Beautiful!
And the inside is even more amazing than the outside. I am totally going to eat some cake this second.
As usual, so pretty and creative!
LOVE! would love revipes
WOW!!! i love this cake, it’s so cute!!! i’, going to show it to my mom, she’ll love it also!
I actually kind of like that the lines are not perfectly straight…
Beautiful cake.
I like how your cakes match. Match as in, the outside matches/compliments the inside. Wouldn’t it be fun(ny) to do a tacky cake! But I guess a big part of eating something is that it *appeals* to your appetite visually. This might not be the case for a tacky cake
I love the fact that the lines aren’t all symmetrical and straight! It’s a homemade cake, after all, and it looks just delicious!
Beautiful!!!
I LIKE that the lines of this cake aren’t as straight! It makes it more playful and less formal – perfection for a girlie 1st bday cake!!
Love your site here. I used to bake cakes and decorate cookies aaaall the freakin’ time, and then sold most all my tools on eBay. You are inspiring me to get back to this mess!
