For my son's first birthday I chose to incorporate an Eric Carle theme, specifically, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. His baby book follows the same theme so I thought this was appropriate.
This was a super easy to execute and it turned out so cute! (If I do say so myself.)
The Head:
Frost 1 cupcake with red frosting. Dab 2 white dot for eyes and insert mini chocolate chips to complete them. Frost on a white smile. I made our antenna out of a purple pipe cleaner that I found in our craft drawer. You could also use construction paper and toothpicks if that is what you happen to have.
The Body:
Frost with green frosting. I let my color not quite mix all the way to create the gradient look you see in the green.
The Board:
I purchased a white foam core board from my local office supply store, cut and glued on colored tissue paper dots and frosted "Carver is One!" with white frosting.
Really, that's it. Fun!
