Happy Birthday Husband!
My Husband turned 31 this year...and when I asked him if he wanted a cake for his birthday - I was expecting his usual "No Thanks" response because he never eats any of my sweets. He just doesn't have a sweet tooth like me.
So when he said "Yes." I was shocked.
I continued to be shocked when he told me he wanted "something with strawberries".
You got it, hubby.
I baked a Vanilla cake, whipped up some Vanilla Swiss Merinuge Buttercream, added Strawberry Jam to a couple cups of buttercream, sliced up some fresh strawberries...and built him a little cake.
I saw this idea on Pinterest a long time ago and since the husband loves sprinkles I figured he is the perfect candidate.
I grabbed the numbers 3 and 1 from my cookie cutter collection, placed them on top of the cake and sprinkled away. I lifted the cookie cutters and after a few adjustments with a toothpick, ta da!
He loved it...and I loved that he loved it.
He even had two slices the night of his birthday and two more slices the next couple of days until it was gone.
I love you Richard and Happy Birthday!

Jacob
I know this kid named Jacob...and he has become a huge part of our lives here.
I met Jacob when he was 4 months old when I started taking care of him five days a week.
He has turned into Ethan's best little buddy and in April, Jacob turned ONE.
His mommy was throwing a Barn Yard themed birthday celebration and requested some delicious cupcakes and smash cake for the event.
Jacob is very special to me so I wanted to make sure when he looked back at pictures from this day, he says "Damn, my cake and cupcakes were awesome!" Well, maybe without the bad word, but still I wanted it to be perfect.
The cupcakes were Vanilla Cheesecake and Chocolate, both with Fresh Strawberry Filling.
The smash cake was Chocolate also with Fresh Strawberry Filling - just no glaze and a thin layer of buttercream to prevent a sugar overload.
Everything was covered with Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

I purchased the Cupcake picks from the local Bakers Boutique.
The cow spots are black Marshmallow Fondant and the barn cake topper is a bird house I bought at Michaels and painted myself.
I knew Jacob would be a great cake smasher...but I didn't know he would be the BEST CAKE SMASHER in cake smashing history!
He did not disappoint.
It was an awesome day and I am blessed to have been a part of his first year.
Happy Birthday Jacob!
