One worm for a one year old


A year ago my nursery school friend had a surprise baby shower in anticipation of the arrival of her baby.  I was asked to please make some cupcakes for the party (something I never mind doing).  Knowing that she was expecting a boy made my decorating decision very easy – obviously blue, and then I decided to decorate the cupcakes with buttons.
  
Cole has just celebrated his 1st birthday and Claire asked me to please make some buttons for the birthday cake and cupcakes.  The party theme was primary colours and included a multi coloured worm.  Along with the buttons, I was asked to please make a worm for the cake, and Claire took on the task of making the cake.

So last week I sat down to some serious button making!  200 buttons and one worm later, I was very excited to see how the cake would look. The primary colours looked amazing and made a nice change to the pastels that I normally use.

After an interesting drive to deliver the worm, it finally made it onto the cake!
