I baked 2 large rectangular cakes and cut out pieces to form the roman numeral one. The theme for his first birthday was Birthday Prince. The colors of the cake were royal blue, baby blue and white to match the theme. I used store bought cake mixes and frosting.
I used two cake mixes, as well as two tubs of white frosting. I tinted the frosting for the writing. I piped a simple border around the cake. I also baked three cookies using a number one cookie cutter and brushed them with tinted frosting (powdered sugar and food coloring). I used toothpicks to help the cookies stand up on the cake. I also made a cupcake to match the cake, which is what my son ate.
This 1st Birthday Cake Idea was a very simple cake to make. Next time I make a cut cake, I would freeze the cake and cut when frozen. This would help eliminate crumbs and jagged pieces.
