Cake Smash

IT'S RUBY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!!

 Ruby is turning 1 on Wednesday! This is wild. To celebrate we had a fun cake smash in our living room.

( I made the cake extra ugly because it was going to be smashed.  Ok, really the cake just completely fell apart when I took it out of the pan. I was SO MAD.  Then, I didn't make the frosting stiff enough AND didn't let the cake cool enough before I frosted it so it melted everywhere.  Massively amateur mistakes! I swear I can make a pretty cake.  I just had to have this disclaimer before I put up pictures because it's quite embarrassing how ugly it is.  I laughed my head off.)

She was pretty timid in the beginning.  She didn't like her fingers getting messy.







But eventually she got into it.








And discovered how tasty cake is! I love her stuffing her face :)









We have a LOT more pictures. It was so fun.  I got the idea from Nikki Stewart, and highly recommend it to everyone :)  Ruby had a blast, and so did we!

Holy cow, she's so big!! I love her face and I LOVE these pictures; you have mad skills!
Btw before I left for Japan my family made me a black forest cake. It had 3 layers with cream and cherries and it looked perfect when we left it on the table but when we came back it was oozing everywhere like a Jabba the Hutt. I had to catch pieces with my hands as they fell and eat them right away...I think cakes taste better that way. ;)
