Smash Cake King

I have been to quite a few 1st birthday parties in the past few years and have taken note that there is a new must-do event that seems to take place at every shindig. I am sure you all know what I am referring to - the Smash Cake! The guest of honor gets their very own cake, covered with extra icing.

All of the family and friends gather 'round the little one (literally 1) and watch in anticipation as the tot surveys the situation. 1) why are all these peeps staring at me 2) why did mom strip me down to only a diaper in front of all of these peeps 3) what is this ginormous sugary smelling treat placed within arms reach on my highchair...4) who cares....i'm diving in!

This past Saturday was my oh-so-good friend Alaina's son Mason's 1st Birthday, and man, lemme tell you, he did not disappoint. They made him a giant cupcake for his smash cake and I have seriously never seen more blue icing atop one, single pastry item. Mason was destined for smash cake greatness!

Big Blue - the cupcake :)

He went through the checklist of thoughts as noted above and then proceeded to scoot the cupcake a little closer, got his tiny hands wrapped around it...whatdoyaknow..Mason picked that beast up and tipped it straight onto his face...a competitve food eater in the making! It was hysterical! The whole thing plopped right into his lap! He was covered in blue! After Mom scooped it back up onto the tray, Mason continued to dive, literally, into the cake and seemed to really like what he found :). The whole party was dying laughing. As for Mason, naaahhh, he didn't even seem to notice the crowd anymore. He had blue on the brain.

Fun times!

Muwahh! (kisses)
