Yesterday, April 21st, was our daugther Ella’s first birthday. G and I were ridiculously excited for her big day. We organized a big bash, which in the end, yes, was more a party for us grown ups. I jokingly called it the “Yay, we survived the first year-party!”
I will now also remember this as the day when the cupcake-goddess in me awakened, as I made my first cupcakes ever.
It was an all around perfect day. And I am sure, all new parents can relate, one’s child first birthday is pretty darn special.
Life is good.
Oh! Your lucky little Ella. Gorgeous. :)

Hi!!!!
Congrats!
Well… I just came accross your muffin cake… I´m a graphic and web designer too and my little girl was 2 last January 6th. Without having seen anything alike until now, I imagined a special muffin cake.
Not everybody liked it tough, since it was not the traditional birthday cake.. I looooved it and my daughter, too. They were really tasty and beautifully covered with delicious white “merengue italiano”. Wish I could post a picture of it..
It seems that we, designers, love making a difference in what we do.. and deslike boring things we see every day. I LOVE THAT!!!
