Movin' and Groovin'

The little man is growing up fast! For my cousin's baby's first birthday, I was asked (ok, volunteered) to make a cake inspired by music, particularly guitars and drums that also matched the design for his invitations.

The trickiest part? Getting those darn guitars to stay upright without the cake behind it for support. Spoonfuls of melted white chocolate and light blue fondant later, I discovered a solution. Toothpicks! Who knew the little things could come in handy in more ways than eating appetizers and cubes of cheese. As for matching the invitations...

Now let's not forget the whole drum aspect here, every one year old deserves a cake of their own...

...and a sugar rush to last until next year!

Happy baking everyone!
