Having a little direction is a good thing for me because sometimes I can just leave the confines of the box (that I am supposed to be thinking inside of) of kind of go a little nutty. So when an incredible co-worker came to me and asked me to do a cake for her niece's first birthday I was tickled. She brought me a plate for the party and said they needed enough to feed thirty and a smash cake for the princess who would be turning 1. Needless to say the first thing that came to mind was doing two cakes, a butterfly and flower then a colorful smash cake.
Both cakes were made with my traditional butter cake. The first was a butterfly cake which I decorated using purple, pink, orange and yellow. All the colors found in the plate that would be used for the party. The second cake was a peace flower which I used green, pink and yellow to decorate. I wanted to make sure the cakes were similar but not exactly alike and not to matchy match with the plate.
The smash cake I made with angel food cake so it would not be quite as messy as the butter cake. Using a combination of colors found in the plate and on the other two cakes I was able to make something purely for smashing birthday fun.
