Owen's First Birthday

This past Saturday was when my baby turned 1 year old!  He likes the children's program "In the Night Garden..." so I decided to make Igglepiggle to put on his cake.  To cover the cake, I made marshmallow fondant.  This was the first time I made it from scratch, since I've read many reviews of how much better it tasted versus traditional fondant.  It was really sweet and tasted different since I put a little orange oil in it.  The cake had 3 layers: lemon, chocolate, and lemon; orange-flavoured buttercream in between each one.

Design inspired by Andrea Sullivan from Andrea's SweetCakes

I also made little chocolate cookies with buttercream icing and fondant flowers.
