Have Your Cake

A dear friend recently had a baby. It just so happened that this tiny piece of perfection was born on her mama’s birthday, her 30th no less. Because it was birthdays all around, loved ones brought a cake to the hospital. Besides setting the scene for some adorable photos, this cake created a celebratory mood befitting a new life (I’ll just put it out there now: I think our next baby should be greeted with a cake--carrot, please). Ice cream and cookies may be more likely to make me swoon, but nothing says celebration like a cake.

Homemade cake beats bakery cake any day of the week, but what do you do if your frosting skills are stuck at a third grade level? Add a topper, of course. Almost anything small and festive can decorate your cake or cupcakes (just put it on a small pedestal, if you're concerned about the frosting). Here are a few of our favorites:
