I had a new challenge this week...Joy, Nicole's mother-in-law, ordered some farm animal cupcakes for her grandson's first birthday. Along with the cupcakes, she also wanted a smash cake for the birthday boy. I've only made 2 other birthday cakes that I've decorated and they've been for my own girls, never for an order. I was pretty nervous all day on Friday as I worked on the cake and had nightmares all night long about cakes falling apart. I even got up to check on the cake twice! Thankfully, it all stayed together and turned out pretty cute.

| I covered it in buttercream because a.) I'm not skilled in covering cakes in fondant, b.) I don't think a 1 year old can get through fondant to get to the messy cake part and c.) who really likes the taste of fondant anyway??? |

Thanks for the challenge, Joy! I hope Kyle had a great party...and I hope he liked his cake!
