Ombre Ruffled Buttercream Cake

I made this cake for Lyndsey Fagerlund (and she took all the pictures, I just made the cake) for her own baby’s first birthday!  And the really fun part?  Lyndsey was on Good Things Utah talking about capturing children’s birthday parties, and this cake was featured!  You can see the video here.

Crescent Buttercream Smash Cake

I am so in love with buttercream right now, and so glad there are so many fun frosting options! This Crescent shape is super versatile and fun. With the rows you can easily keep it the same color, or go with an ombre effect.

I’ve done a few different versions of this, creating a good boy smash cake that isn’t too frilly. Here are the orange ombre and the blue ombre versions. These were each more tear drop shapped, just a different effect.
