let the celebration(s) begin!

Saturday we hit off Oscar's "birth week" (because apparently he takes after his mom and likes to drag out the celebrations as long as possible) with a playgroup birthday party. All the babies in our playgroup were born within about two months of each other, which, in addition to making it super fun, gave us a great excuse for a big group party.

I made a number one cake, taking inspiration from the B cake on Blonde Designs Blog. I made mine two layers and spread a delicious raspberry filling in the middle:

I also made mini carrot cake cupcakes for the babies:

The big polka dot sprinkles are from Layer Cake Shop (which I love!).

Party number two (grandpa's special party) is scheduled for tonight. Woo!
