The font in this birthday banner is from the super cute Handmade Charlotte’s stencil set. Nice, isn’t it? And it matches Liam’s DIY 1st birthday bib that I loved making for him.

How to make Letter Mini Birthday Cakes

These letter mini birthday cakes were a big hit at Liam’s 1st birthday party. I made them using an L-shaped cookie cutter and pound cake like these cute baby shower petit fours by Cakegirls.

Then I covered the L letters with melted chocolate and confetti sprinkles that complimented Liam’s polka dot XOXO birthday theme and DIY 1st birthday bib tutorial.

Now everyone knows I’m not an expert baker but I think it’s a big deal to make birthday cakes and treats on your own, imperfections and all, so I gave it a go and you can too! And I made my first ever cake pops using the leftover pound cake from cutting the L-shaped mini birthday cakes.

And displayed them on the table next to colorful M&Ms and polka dot plates.
