Purple Rosette Smash Cake

By 28 Comments

My sister, Chelsea Peterson Photography, is going to start doing 1 year old smash cake sessions!  I’m so excited for Baby Boy’s and it’s still 6 months away!  ANYWAY, I’m going to be making the cakes for them!

We decided to do a practice cake, to see what size looked best on her cute cake stand, also she wanted a cake for her oldest daughters birthday party invitation!

I’m going to create a few different butter-cream options for Smash cake options!  This rosette style of frosting is all over the internet.  I’ll also offer a ruffled option, and my sprinkle cake as well as a few more I’ll make and preview over the next few months.

When we were done taking pictures we let the girls break into the cake for fun!  They were pretty hesitant, and so adorable.  But I can’t wait to see the 1 year olds get down with the cake!  Anyone have a 1 year old soon?

Here’s my sweet niece digging in! She’s the clean one, she doesn’t like getting her hands dirty, thus the fork! I was the same way as a child, it’s so fun getting to know my sweet nieces so much better now that they live here (your never allowed to move again- unless I do- then you have to follow me!)

    This cake is lovely. And I love the cake stand.
    I linked a new design for an Easy hanging kitchen towel, check it out if you have the time.
    Thanks for having me to the party.

    A very cute cake indeed Ashlee. I love the rosettes. I can’t believe that I’ll actually have another 1 year old! I really thought I was done. 🙂

      Thanks sweetie! It was great to see you this weekend! CRAZY, I can’t believe you’ll have a baby so soon! Crazy how much changes in a year (few months even)

    Hi Ashley, did you make the purple frosting roses first and then place them on the cake or did you just free hand them while turning the cake? I’d love to try one of those, but need practice on my rose making. Very pretty and great idea for Mothers Day or a tea party. Thanks for sharing.

      right on the cake, they rosette, not roses, so there isn’t a way to transfer them, they are super easy, use a star tip, start in the middle and circle around to the size you want.
