We celebrated Max's first birthday with a BBQ at my parents house. I found this cute monkey cake design on the Parents magazine website. My mom was in charge of making the cakes, we made two, and she wanted to make homemade icing. Well the icing didn't turn out as creamy as she would of liked but it did have a delicious almond flavor. I told her we should of just bought the icing but she insisted on making her own. I had the easy task of decorating the cakes. Some chocolate sprinkles, chocolate licorice for the hair, doughnuts for the ears, peppermint patties for the eyes and skittles for the nose. I think they turned out very cute even if they weren't perfect. My mom use to make some of the coolest cakes for us when we were kids.Max enjoyed his cake and even seemed a little giddy after eating his share. I gave him a bath afterwards and Ben, the little guy in the left corner, had a blast hanging over the tub splashing and playing with the squirt toys. He kept on saying Memo, Memo! (Nemo)
Thanks to all our family and friends who attended. We had a great time and enjoyed your company! J
