My niece turned 1 a few weeks ago. At my Sister’s request, I made her a giant cupcake smash cake for her birthday party (on Superbowl Sunday so I didn’t get to stay to see her smash it). She themed the party Mardi Gras so they could make a pot of gumbo the size of a small Volkswagen. I am not joking – Cajun folks never mess around when it comes to cooking food.
I used a basic vanilla and chocolate marble recipe and frosted it with vanilla buttercream dyed yellow and topped with green and purple sugar sprinkles. I hope she sends me the photos of my cake covered niece soon!
Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
Be Sweet,
Heather
