The Birthday Cake

This year since Jeren and Kira's birthdays are only 6 days apart I decided to do a party together. I can get away with it for a couple years, MAYBE. The theme was BUGS. Jeren was more of the caterpillars and Kira was the butterflies. It turned out really good, I found lots of ideas on the internet. For Jeren's cake I did a caterpillar made from a lemon bundt cake. I colored the lemon frosting bright green and then drizzled melted dark and white chocolate over the top, it turned out nummy. For the antennas I did Twix and the boys did the eye balls with malt balls and chocolate chips. The face looked a little scary to me.

Kira's cake was just 2 -9" round white cakes, cut in half then turned in opposite directions with the round side to the inside if that makes sense. I cut the cake in the shape of wings and then did a little decorating. The antennas were toothpicks covered with frosting and the body was a twinkie. This cake turned out really cute too.

I also had a table to put both their cakes on along with a picture of when Kira was first born and Jeren was kissing her, very sweet. I had two cupcake stands, 1 for Kira's cupcakes and 1 for Jeren's. I found these cute butterflies thru Oriental Trading and they were the toppers on Kira's cupcakes and Jeren's were some bug cupcake toppers.
