Happy Birthday Roman!

My friend's sweet little boy celebrated his first birthday a couple of weeks ago.  I was so honored that she asked me to make his cupcakes and smash cake!  His theme was Mickey Mouse, and I was so excited because I had so many ideas for his smash cake.  
But a couple of weeks before his party, we found out that he was allergic to a lot of the many ingredients that go into a cake (wheat, soy, dairy, eggs and nuts).  I was determined to make sure this sweet boy still got to enjoy a delicious cake, even is designer wise I wasn't able to do what I wanted to try.  I was so nervous when began making it, especially with the icing.  I learned vegan butter is not a fan of food coloring, so the color's weren't exactly what I wanted, but it worked.  And I had to keep putting the icing in the fridge every couple of minutes so it didn't get to soft.
  I was taking the pictures when he took his first bite and I can't begin to tell you how excited I was that he enjoyed it! (His momma even said it was good!  Score!)
So here is sweet Roman's birthday cake! (sorry the pic is off centered)

 Then for the cupcakes for the other guests, I made an oreo cupcake.  There was a oreo in the bottom, with the cookie mixed in the batter as well.  Then using a regular oreo and two mini oreos...I made Mickey himself!!!

I love being able to add something special to birthdays!

Also...fall has officially started!  So place your order for some yummy fall cupcakes, ranging from pumpkin, banana nut, snickerdoodle, pecan, and for all you Harry Potter fans...butterbeer cupcakes!!!
