I've been a little behind with updating my latest sweet creations mainly due to this final month of scrambling before I'm off to France and London. But within this month itself was chaos; two trips and birthday festivities for the little ones.
One of these projects was the most trying, pressing and time consuming ever! But how can I resist? Its for this little guy! And if you've ever seen his smile before, you know it just makes everything all better. Here is the birthday boy a few weeks ago. My little,big man:
His momma, my 'client', requested rice krispy treats in the shape of his age, 1, and in theory this project appeared to be like cake! (No pun intended) However, it was much more difficult that it seems. No baking required but very hands on at all times! The pics will show you the step by step process. The biggest hurdle? A very, steamy, New York hot July day...
