It's already been one year...

...since this little beauty came into my life.

and she deserved the best birthday cake. So I turned to pinterest for some inspiration. This is what I came up with...

I learned this awesome icing technique HERE. I used the technique and covered the cake in frosting roses.

I made the inside of the cake ombre; progressive colored layers. The cake pictured above was for Anni's 1 year photo shoot. The cake below was from her party. I wish I'd gotten a little cleaner picture of the layers, but you get the idea.

Anni's "Pinkalicious" party was a huge success. To see all the fun pictures you can check out my post on our family blog HERE.

Anni also had an awesome one year photo shoot, thanks to my good friend, neighbor, and photographer extraordinaire Lisa. I'm posting a couple of my favorites. If you want to see a lot more, you can check them out HERE. And if you like what you see and want the contact info for my good friend Lisa, send me a message and I'll get you in touch with her. She is amazing!
