My niece turned 1 and after doing a couple Kai-Lan-themed cakes and decorations, I wanted to create something unique and different but especially cute for her 1st birthday. I love the show and one of my favorite characters is Mr. Fluffy and his adorably cute bakery so I designed her cake to look just like his bakery. I think it turned out really cute!
I had scoured the Internet and watched episodes of the show trying to find a good picture of his home to replicate but couldn't find one. There were a lot of photos of the toy but none of the bakery as seen on the show. As I was talking to my brother about it, my 4-year-old jumped in and said she had a picture of it in her Kai-Lan book, Mr. Fluffy, and his bakery right inside that book - it was perfect! My little hero!
My two kids picked out which of Mr. Fluffy's cakes I got to replicate for the decorations along the side of the cake and since we were in the midst of a heat wave and with the party being outdoors at a park, I kept everything pretty flat and two-dimensional to be safe.
The house was built and carved out of 2, 6 inch rounds and an 8 inch round for the roof. Everything is covered and decorated in MMF including the handmade, giant chocolate chips sitting on the roof. I'm so sorry for not having pictures of the step by step process - it was such a busy and stressful week that the camera and I just did not find each other but hopefully all of these "after" photos will help paint the picture....a 360 view around the cake.
Included below are the table center pieces made by my cousin - The lollipop flowers are so adorable and too cute!
And my sister-in-law decorated this large box to hold the birthday envelopes. The characters were hand cut out of construction paper and glued together! So creative and perfect - they don't look like cutouts at all!
Emily had a beautiful birthday filled with tons of family and friends, lots of delicious food and beautiful decorations made by her artsy and crafty Aunties and Mommy =) Happy 1st Birthday Emily!
