Jolee's Smash Cake

So, maybe you say I got a little carried away. I can live with that. This was Jolee's smash cake. Yes, I must be out of my mind because I made a 2-tiered smash cake. I've wanted to do one that was 2-tiers for a while now, and Jolee seemed perfect for it!

Her cake was made to match her party decor (Hugs & Stitches), which looked like this:

In pictures, this cake looks a lot bigger than it really is, so I took a picture of it next to the first thing I could get my hands on so you can compare the size. Closest thing was my desk, so a stapler it was!

Woodland Fairy & Friends (Sawyer's 1st Birthday)

Sawyer's 1st birthday was a Woodland Fairy & Friends themed party. I set the cupcakes up like this just to get a shot before I packed them up for the party. They way Valerie had everything displayed at the party was much cuter, but I'm lame and forgot to get a picture. I also forgot to get a picture of the chocolated pretzels. Maybe when she posts her pictures I will be able to steal a few. :)

 Sawyer's smash cake was a sugar-free & egg-free apple spice cake with sugar-free cream cheese icing. I will be completely honest with you, this icing was very difficult to work with. Because it doesn't contain any sugar at all, it basically defies all cake decorating rules. :) Knowing how difficult it would be to work with, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome, because I didn't think I would be able to get it even remotely smooth or get it to pipe to create any decorations at all.
