Noah's First Birthday Cake

Noah's first birthday party had a jungle safari theme. It took me a while to decide how I might turn this idea into a fun cake for a little boy. The invitation was a great inspiration, so I started with a purple zebra on a round sugar cookie...

...and then added an elephant....

...and a lion...

...and a goofy giraffe!

I placed them all on cupcakes for the little ones to enjoy.

Then I made some other shaped cookies and placed them in the cake jungle.

This zebra was not as cute,

... but I do like how the lions came out!

And of course I made a smash cake for the birthday boy!
