Made my first checkerboard cake!! 💛


Actually I made 2 to accommodate how many guests there were haha. For my lil’ guy’s 1st birthday the theme was “one happy dude” with lots of smiley faces and black and white checkers. Also made some lemon tarts as a bonus treat! I am far from a pro but was pleased with how everything turned out 🙂

    Good job! For checkerboard cakes and cookies to work, there needs to be some precision.

    That checkerboard pattern is flawless and the bright yellow themes ties it all to together perfectly! Such a fun idea for a first birthday!
