Flying Barrel Of Monkeys

This weekend was filled with cakes and present making.

I made a smash cake (little cake just for the birthday child) earlier this week for a friend’s little one’s first birthday photo session and then I repeated the cake later in the week for his birthday. I also made some coordinating cupcakes.

Then for another friend, I made Mickey Mouse themed cupcakes and a cookie cake.

Finally, I made some soft blocks for a baby shower gift. I was so excited with how these turned out. I made them extra tactile by putting things inside them, one had a bell, one had crinkle paper, and one had a squeaker. These were made with fabric scraps that I brought home from my mom’s stash. She had some wonderful fabric to choose from and I hope to go back and borrow some more soon.

MonkeyBoy decided that he wanted to get in on the crafting, so he stole my bag of stuffing. Using kitchen tools from his play kitchen set, he emptied a bunch of stuffing onto the hallway floor, telling us that he was making a polar bear.
