FFBP Installment 2: Cupcake Menagerie

Since I figured I only had so many birthdays (maybe just this one) that I got to pick the theme entirely on my own...I used cupcakes. Because I like cupcakes so for now, Frazier does too! ;)

Here are all the decorations from the party...I made pretty much everything. Guess I was in need of a creative outlet. :)

I couldn't believe I found this cute cupcake shirt for him...it says "Baby's First Birthday". Perfection.

Cupcakefetti:

Here's an overview of the tablecloth I made. I just ironed on the cupcakes with heat-n-bond and hand-wrote "Happy Birthday to you" around the center.

I found this idea for a cupcake wrapper garland online...brilliant idea, super cute, and pretty cheap, too!

The white part of those cupcake center pieces are white cupcake wrappers:

Molded chocolate suckers. I'd never made any of these, but with melt in your microwave white (and blue) chocolate and a plastic mold these were extremely easy. And yummy.

I love this whole line of toys...Smart Snacks. Couldn't help but order these:

I know it doesn't look like that many, but when I was icing them it seemed like a ton of cupcakes:

One of the best ideas I've ever seen- wish I could take credit for them, but I found this idea online too. It's just Reese's cups with icing (and a Cherry Berry) on top:Adorable, no?

This is Frazier's special cupcake:

I ordered plates, napkins, invitations, and two mylar balloons in this pattern:

Maybe it was all a little much...but then again, your firstborn's first birthday only happens once, right?
