I decided that Ladybugs would be the theme of my daughter’s first birthday party. I found some really cute ladybug-themed plates, napkins and other accessories and thought I would make the cake to match the ladybug on the plates.
I used a boxed yellow cake with fudge swirl and buttercream icing. I first made a 10″ round cake for the body and then a 6″ round cake for the head. I cut out a section of the 10″ cake and replaced it with the 6″ cake. I used the spare piece of cake to form the feet and also to make a smash cake for my daughter.
Next, I crumb coated the cake and iced it, using the plates as a guide so that they matched perfectly. I thought that it turned out great!
