Happy Birthday, Livi Bean!

Today is our daughter's very first birthday! I can't believe a year has come and gone so quickly! Being a mommy has been such a great adventure. It has been a million times better than I thought it could be. Our little Alivia has been such a blessing in our lives and what better way to celebrate the anniversary of her arrival into our family than, you guessed it, cake!

I posted on here a while ago that I was trying a master the art of fondant so I could make Livi's cake myself. Over the past couple of months, I have made a few trial cakes, tried different icing recipes, and purchased a few cake decorating do-dads. I think all the practice paid off quite nicely. I may not have mastered the art of fondant (yet... practice makes perfect), but the result was pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself!

Happy Birthday, Livi Bean!
