First Year

It is Farm Baby's First Birthday tomorrow!! I cannot believe it has been a whole year already!  It honestly doesn't feel like it.  We have no plans so far as the weather is ghastly at the moment, we'll just have to wait and see, but I have spent the evening baking.  

I am very pleased with this cake.  Its only a Victoria Sponge but it is the first time I have successfully covered a cake in fondant icing!!  I also attempted colouring my own icing to make two shades of pink for the hearts and I think it came out pretty well.

In keeping with my theme I made little jam filled and iced cupcakes to go along with the cake.  Her ladyship is having a week long celebration as the two sets of grandparents cannot make it on her birthday, nor can the make it on the same day this week.  But that in itself is good, she has a three day birthday and we can spend her 1st birthday as just the three of us.
