It was another busy week...2 photo assignments, 25 cookies, 3 cakes and a wriggling, sqealing, very mobile infant to chase after.  Sheesh.  With her first birthday fast approaching, I'm getting lots of ideas from other moms.  These #1 cookies were adorable party favors for an Elmo themed party.

Little Anav had a jungle themed first birthday party.  His mom sent me a picture of the plates and asked that I make a large lion cake and a monkey smash cake.  I had a blast making this one...you can almost hear him "ROAR!"
