Last week was pretty hectic but I would do it all over again! My son's first birthday and birthday party were amazing thanks to wonderful family and friends who made it so special. I had lots of fun baking and decorating a frog smash cake and frog cupcakes. I found so much inspiration online like this adorable frog cake and froggie cupcakes i just had to try. Mine came out a little different but I was happy with the results.
My main focus was decorating so I took the cake mix route, Duncan Hines, to be exact. The cake and cupcakes came out great! They were super moist, fluffy and delicious! A special thank you to my sister-in-law for her great tip! As per her suggestion, I filled a pan with water, about halfway, and placed it on the lower rack of the oven along with the cupcakes. The steam kept them nice and moist!
Froggie cupcakes: For the eyes, I cut up a marshmallow into fours and stuck a chocolate morsel into the center of each one. For the mouth, I used a Twizzler Pull and Peel. I put two cupcakes aside for the smash cake.
Smash cake: The smash cake had a banana cream pudding filing with fresh banana slices. The eyes were two cupcakes with Oreo cookies as eyeballs.
Here are a few pics of the frog smash cake, froggie cupcakes, frog-shaped rice crispy treats, and the favor bag creations:
