Georgia Tech Baby Shower

I just LOVE this little onesie cake!!! It's definitely one of my top favs :)

This baby shower is for my best friend Stacey (aka Manace) who is expecting her first little one! We are sooooo excited for her and this new journey. She absolutely LOVES Georgia Tech so we thought.... why not throw her a Georgia Tech themed baby shower!?!?

Don't you just love this diaper cake and the invitations??

Party planners and mommy to be... :)

You guessed it... my talented sister made this sign and bucket :)

Mommy to be & her friend Jenny's sweet little girl.

Can't wait to meet little Jackson!

Can you dig it??? Noah is ONE

I LOVE this birthday party theme....

(I may be a little biased though because I helped pick it out, LOL).

This weekend was my little nephews 1st birthday party!

Noah's smash cake...

Check out the dessert table.... The kids also had ice cream sundae's & got to add their own dirt and worms to them. So fun!

Noah and his Sher Sher... me :)

It's CAKE time...

(Big Sis is sooo excited for Noah to have his cake)

Noah was so sweet.... instead of smashing his cake, he decided to share it with ALL the kiddos!

That's just the kind of guy this handsome little fellow is, LOL.

Or..... he may have just been full from all the pizza??

Isn't this a precious little family?!? (By the way, this is my twin sister)

Remember in my last post I told you how creative & talented my older sister is?!?!

Well......... check out these signs that she made for Noah's 1st birthday party.....LOVE them!

Goldfish 1st Birthday Party

And not just any goldfish.... Pepperidge Farm Goldfish

Happy 1st Birthday Hudson...

Little goldfish crackers were used to spell out Hudson's name :)

The #1 cake was made to resemble the invitation
(And do I have a story for you.... see below)

How SWEET is this HUGE smile?!?!

My first CAKE DISASTER.................!!!!!

NOTICE ANYTHING?!?!?!

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS....... you are looking at a cake that is fully covered in buttercream icing & fondant BUT............. it's facing the WRONG direction!!!!!

So yes, I was going about my cheerful ole time decorating this cake, listening to music, etc, and I grabbed out the birthday invitation so that I could reference it while putting the final decorations on this cake. And then I realized....... IT'S BACKWARDS!!!!

So long story short... a cake that should have been fairly simple turned into a HUGE DISASTER and took double the amount of time that it should have :( And the worst part is that yes, I could blame this mistake on my husband...., or our recent move...., my day job...., stress...., etc.... distracting me. BUT in reality there is no one to blame but myself, HAHA. I assure you I will never make this mistake again. (Maaannn.... I guess this means that I am only human, lol.)
