I made this 1st Birthday Cake from the “Hugs and Stitches” pattern from my daughter’s first birthday plates and napkins.
The base is 2- 8″ rounds and the top is a 6″ round. I covered the bottom in pink fondant and then made the butterflies and flowers from fondant. Then the top I divided into three sections of color just like on the plate. At first I couldn’t get the three sections to be seamless, but then saw that a little bit of the white buttercream coming through each seam looked kind of nice, so I left them.
I added the 1st, the flowers and butterflies- all made from fondant. For the top of the 8″ round, I drew cross stitch lines with liquid fondant to give the “gingham” look. However, next time I won’t make the flowers and butterflies to far in advance. They were too hard and I could manipulate them to curve to the cake edges without breaking. I had to do a lot of fixing to the butterflies.

I love this cake, the colours the design are just great. Well done you
What state do you live in?? I would pay a pretty penny for this cake! I love it soo much!
its perfect!!
I don’t suppose you make any to sell?
if not, do you have any recommendations on your fondant ingredients and also what kind of cake did you use? I just cant seem to get my fondant cakes to be anything but rounded off around the edges which makes it a little sloppy looking!
I’ve been shopping for my daughter’s first birthday supplies, and instantly recognized this as the “hugs & stitches” pattern! SUPER CUTE!
The effort you took to make this one shows. You must take some classes. It’s great to bake one on your own but I can’t. Would love to do, have to get this ordered for my son’s first birthday.
I love this cake! It’s so cute! Great work.
Love your cake! I don’t live far from Stewartsville…Do you make cakes for others?? My daughter’s first birthday is next month.
