“Our little ladybug is turning one. Flutter on by to have some fun.” That is how the invitation began. And so, we had a bug party to celebrate T’s first birthday. What’s a bug party without a ladybug cake AND ladybug cupcakes??? Well, we’re not going to find out this year, because we had both. And the boys were very helpful in all of our preparations. Luckily, they took shifts. One would be napping and the other would be busily helping me in the kitchen. Or, one would be at school and the other would be assisting me and licking the bowl.
Our “egg” pan. This is what we used to make the body of the ladybug. We used one half of the pan from the baseball cake (which I made for the boys’ first birthdays) for the ladybug head.
