Would we need pink or would we need blue?

"Would we need pink or would we need blue? 12 months ago none of us knew! It's hard to believe our little boy is turning 1! Staton is having a BLUE birthday-it will be lots of fun!"

These are the words on the birthday invitation for a sweet little boy I know. His name is Staton and he has the sweetest parents. You see, I taught school with his precious moma until she decided it was best for their family for her to stay home with this little ham! By reading the invitation, you can figure out that they didn't find out if they were having a boy or a girl when she was pregnant. All of thier baby showers were decked out in gender neutral colors due to this fact. So, when it came time for his 1st birthday, Summer and Drake wanted it to be "all boy"! She asked me long ago to do the cake and she knew then that whatever we did, she wanted it to have LOTS of blue. I went over to visit one afternoon and we brainstormed many blue ideas. Finally, we came up with the idea of making Staton's smash cake a 3D number 1 iced in blue buttercream icing with blue fondant dot details. The cake was homemade chocolate. Then we decided cupcakes would be fun. I baked a dozen vanilla cupcakes and a dozen chocolate cupcakes both decorated in white buttercream icing and blue fondant dots on the top. I hope he enjoys every bite!!!
