My son turns one next week. I cannot believe how fast time has flown! It seems like just yesterday I was eagerly anticipating his arrival, and wondering if he would look more like my husband or more like me. For the record, I still don’t know.
We are celebrating his birthday this Saturday and I am making all kinds of goodies, including cupcakes. Since his nursery is jungle-themed, I decided to go with that theme for his birthday party. I saw a picture of a lion made out of fondant (cup-e-cake gang) and thought that’d be perfect to go on his special birthday cupcake. So, I am going to give you a sneak peek of the party preparations, with this little lion.
Here the little lion is drying. I used piping gel to “glue” the mane to the head.
This giraffe was a disaster. So much piping gel went into getting his head to stick to his body; and in the morning, his head was next to his legs. I thought about using a toothpick to secure his head, but was afraid I’d smoosh the head or body.
Eyes are in and he’s almost ready to make his debut!
Oh cute, little lion. How I love you and your cute, little belly button so…
More on this special day to come! xoxo
Cute. The little giraffe was adorable too! Too bad his head sunk.
So so so cute! I want to kiss your little lion and giraffe!
Adorable and awesome!
i totally stumbled upon this and i LOVE your lion! Thanks for the shout-out!!!
Of course! Can’t take all the credit. :) I found you out through Sweetopia’s blog–we were both on “Sweet of the Week!”
