I have another printable for you today!
This one was inspired by a young woman I teach at church. This past Sunday was her birthday and all of us in her class wanted to do something for her to help her feel special even though she couldn’t go out anywhere. I was going to make her cookies, but then I found out two of the other girls in our class each made her a cake! So I wanted to give her something she could do later after the cake is gone. I had stuff for s’mores so I decided that was perfect. Plus everything was packaged so if she wanted to sanitize stuff it would be easy to do.
To go with the s’mores kit I decided to design this card. I thought you might like to use it too! This one is social distancing specific but I have another version on our subscriber printable page that would be great to send to loved ones you can’t be with on their birthday at any time So be sure to subscribe below to get access to that and many of our other great printables!
And in case you’re wondering, she told me the gift was perfect because she had been wanting s’mores for weeks! You can never go wrong with s’mores.
Who will you be sending a s'mores care package to with your free printable card? Let us know in the comments below!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful new year! I'm still suffering from a little bit of back to work depression. Christmas was wonderful, and it's a busy time for our family since our daughter's birthday is three days later. We threw her a Minnie Mouse birthday party for her second birthday. She was so excited. She asked me for about a week afterwards what happened to her "birpay party" and keeps pretending that she is having a party. I made her a chocolate birthday cake using my favorite chocolate cake recipe, which you can find on a box of Hershey's Cocoa Powder. Our litte one loves blueberries, so I used this blueberry filling for the middle. I made pink buttercream frosting for the outside. For the polka dots I used these Wilton's candy eyeballs. I just turned them around backwards so they looked like plain white polka dots, and nobody knew the difference. On today's post, I am going to share with you my secret to perfectly delicious buttercream frosting! You can use this recipe for all your frosting needs and adjust it with any color you want it to be, and add chocolate if you want. Your sweet treats will always taste delicious. Perfect Buttercream Frosting
So last week I showed you how to make a delicious funfetti Daniel Tiger smash cake for a kids first birthday smash session. This week I'm here with the Daniel Tiger birthday cake! Remember how I told you that I had originally planned to throw my daughter a small party, since she was turning one etc etc etc... then that all went out the window. Well it went out the window about 4 months before her birthday when I started searching for first birthday party ideas on Pinterest and decided she should have a Daniel Tiger birthday party since she loves him! I searched and searched for ideas on a Daniel Tiger birthday cake and then I found this website. How perfect is that? It has other food ideas besides the cake and it also has decorating ideas and game ideas for the party! That came in handy because a few of her cousins who are older came and so we had coloring pages and a couple games on hand to entertain them. The recipe here makes one 9 in round cake for you to decorate. I did not include an additional recipe for the cupcakes (I did a different flavor for the ears.) You'll want to remember to save a little bit of icing for the whiskers. I completely forgot and dyed it all orange and then I made PH go buy me a small bag of white icing because I did not feel like cleaning everything I had used just to make a tablespoon of frosting. Use the same frosting recipe here, but use orange food coloring instead. Now I used the full recipe because we had her birthday party on the same day of my brother's birthday (her actual birthday is the day before his) so I used the extra cake for him. If you don't want to make a full batch of cupcakes you could just increase the measurements here slightly (I'd say by 1/4 for two cupcakes) just to make two cupcakes. It really is a matter of how many kids will be at your party, and how much you like leftover cake.
I've also included some of my notes regarding the decorating. I followed the directions at the website to decorate the cake with these few variations I mention at the bottom of the recipe. This cake was delicious, and fun to make except for the eyes. Those Oreos drove me nuts! Be very gentle with them!

I am still a little overwhelmed/appalled that my baby girl turned one. Also, it happened almost a month ago now, and I'm still pretty offended by that. I fully intended for her first birthday to be a quiet affair because she is little and would not remember and I did not want her to be overwhelmed.... but that definitely did not end up being what happened.
We threw her a Daniel Tiger Themed Birthday Party because she LOVES Daniel Tiger. We did a smash cake photo shoot, and I decided to make the cake. Then I decided to tell you guys how to make it, so you could make it too!
I decided to do a six inch cake because it's not like our tiny tot was going to eat the whole thing anyway. Although she did dig into that frosting pretty well. My husband tried to throw it away afterwards. My reaction was, "heck no! We are eating that cake!" We just scraped off the messy parts that she and enjoyed. It is a little bit of a bummer to see your beautiful creation be annihilated. It was annihilated by my even more beautiful creation though, and she really was so cute doing it. She went right for the cake!
This is a simple recipe for a delicious funfetti cake. Funfetti feels appropriate for Daniel Tiger. The roads in the land of make believe look like funfetti roads. I decided to do the decorative icing in yellow and orange because bright, happy colors is also a Daniel Tiger staple. It is three layers, which may feel like a lot for a baby, but like I said, you can all enjoy the cake afterwards. Just cut away the part where baby really got in there and enjoyed her birthday cake!
This cake brought her a lot of joy, and it can bring you and your little one joy as well! Happy Daniel Tiger cake smashing!
