Happy 1st birthday to the Lambs!

I was invited to a 1st birthday party for two adorable twin girls, of course I asked their Mommy if it was ok if I could make them a cake but since their Grammy is making a big cake for all the guest, she said I could make little "smash" cakes for them. Yay, so excited!

Since I always like to try make all my projects fun & unique. I instantly thought that I would be make a cake related to lambs since I've always thought it was adorable that they (mommy & daddy) called them, "the lambs". I got some ideas from the internet on how I wanted the lamb cakes to look like.

And because the girls are so little, I wanted use a lower sugar cake recipe. I ended up making a the banana cake with a cream cheese frosting that I showed you how to make last week.

But here they are, I love how they turn out.
Lamb cakes for the lambs

To make the lambs, I baked a large sheet of cake, cut out two different sized rounds(4" & 2.5"), stacked and iced the tiers.  I then sculpted the cake into the general shape I wanted, and the arms, legs, ears & face are made of marshmallow fondant. And the number one and their names are made of an almond bark candy. Here a close up of the cakes individually:


I had so much fun making them!!
