The second cake I did was for my niece, Mackenzie's, 1st birthday. Keep in mind Cameron is 7 weeks older than Kenize which means I did my 1st and 2nd cake back-to-back.I, again, used fondant. This time around, I colored it PINK and made different color fondant hearts, a lady bug, flowers, and butterflies. I used regular ribbon to trim the edge. Luckily, my sister, Amy, bought a tiny cake that was not covered in fondant for Kenzie to tear into.
For the main cake I used a 10" round pan and double layered cake...I really can't remember what type of cake it was for the life of me!
I was really nervous making this cake for my princess being her 1st birthday. I did not want to disappoint her mommy. Thankfully everyone loved it. At least that's what I was told to my face!
I learned from this cake that in order to do "upright or 3D" fondant pieces I have to allow for drying time. At least 24 hours. The butterfly would have probably been easier to make with gum paste instead of fondant, or instead of using unsupported fondant for the antennae, I should have used wire and formed it into a spiral and molded the fondant around that. Again, live and learn!

That's really cute, Nikki! For only a first and second cake, really great job! =)
You might want to reconsider the light gray font. It's kind of hard on eyes over, well let's just say over 39 and leave it at that. =)
