Princess completes her first trip around the sun

Princess recently celebrated her first birthday! She enjoyed ripping the shiny paper off the presents, chewing on the bows, and being the center of attention. Of course, we had to have a cake that was fitting for the occasion... a crown! (A great recipe I discovered here on the Family Fun website.) Personally, I think she is growing up way too fast and I wish she would slow it down!

Happy Birthday, cutie pie! I can't believe she's already a year old! Your cake is stunning, by the way. I saw the same one in the Family Fun magazine earlier this year and thought it was so cool! Where did you find the special cookies for the edge? You're so talented, Susan!

Thanks, Amber. You're good for my ego. ;o) The cookies around the edge are from sugar-cookie dough (store-bought... I'm not THAT ambitious). There is a template for the pattern on the Family Fun website. You print it out, lay it on the dough and trace around it. Very easy (except when trying to keep family members from eating the dough).
