Birthdays for my babies!

This summer proved to be a very busy one for us here! Along with getting used to having three little ones in the house, we had two big birthdays to celebrate.  The first was for our 6 year old daughter. She requested a giraffe party. I decided to stick with a simple giraffe print cookie and cake with a couple special cookies for the top. I am so thrilled with how they turned out!



How adorable are those little pink bows?! The cake is covered in homemade marshmallow fondant and buttercream details.

In the months leading up to my 4 year old's birthday we asked several times what she wanted for her birthday. She replied, "cake and candy!"  Love that girl!! She is currently obsessed with rainbows so with a little helpful suggestion we came up with this:

 This is one of my favorite icing techniques.  
I love when something relatively simple turns out so beautiful!
