Fun with cake decorating!

I was recently asked by a friend if I would make a birthday cake for her little man's first birthday. I kinda freaked! I haven't decorated a whole cake since baking school but I decided why not jump back into it. My friend was very kind and said " she didn't mind being my Guinea pig:) and she didn't care what I put on the cake. 

So my mind went crazy with a bunch of different designs and we settled on a jungle themed cake. I had planned on placing the cookies on the side of the cake but they were a hair to tall so I just packaged them up in little treat bags. I am so glad she asked me to be a part of her boy's special first birthday! Happy birthday Christian.
