Chiara from Calico and Cupcakes sent me this barnyard party she threw for her one year old. Get a load of this cake!!!! I can't tell you how much I love this cake/cupcakes! So unbelievably creative and yet it is something most people could pull off.
The sheep cupcakes are just pink frosting, mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips.
For the chick cupcakes, she dyed sweetened coconut yellow, used half gumdrops for the beak and mini chocolate chips for the eyes.
The piggies had half a marshmallow under pink frosting to make a snout. Gumdrops cut up made the nostrils, mini chocolate chips were eyes and the ears were triangles cut from fruit roll ups.
The barn cake was simply decorated with red frosting, graham crackers, pretzels and dyed coconut.
Here are some of the cakes at the party.
The party was held at a local petting zoo. It made for the perfect backdrop! Not a whole lot of decorating needed :)
The birthday boy! The cute animal hats were from Oriental Trading Company.
I loved the rustic, western feel of the party area.
The cow pinata.
And because it was held at a petting zoo there was horse back riding!
And a train.
Ride 'em, cowboy!
Looks like it was a ton of fun! Thanks for sharing Chiara :)
