Tiny Person Tuesday: He’s ONE!

October 9, 2018 By Carole

Our tiny person turned one last Thursday and his mom and dad threw him a terrific birthday party on Saturday. They all love the movie The Greatest Showman so they went with a circus theme and it was adorable.

I made the banner for his smash cake.

And a clown crudite platter.

There were cupcakes with lollipop balloons made by my friend Caroline.

And cupcakes with animal crackers made by my friend Sean.

And a smash cake, of course.

Hannah helped Jessica with the table settings and they were adorable.

Colorful and bright and completely on point for the theme.

The favors thanked everyone for making Jack’s birthday the “greatest show”. Soo cute!

Grampa came dressed as the Ringmaster and I think Jack spent a fair amount of time looking at him and trying to figure out how come he didn’t look like Hugh Jackman. (I’ve wondered that myself on occasion, I will admit.)

Everyone sang Happy Birthday but Jack only had eyes for that cake.

As my friend Leslie said, a baby and his first cake. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Happy First Birthday, little Jackie! Your family and friends love you so much!

    It looks like Jack’s already learned how to accept being celebrated with aplomb. Congratulations to all!

    It looks like the whole family made sure that Jackie had a wonderful birthday celebration. Party planning is definitely a Julius family forte. Maybe I don’t have enough one-year olds in my life, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a separate smash cake, only a smash cupcake. Jackie is a lucky little boy (for lots of reasons)!

    What a great birthday party. These young Moms are so creative. I’m pretty sure my kids had two choices – chocolate cake with sprinkles or vanilla cake with sprinkles. Just the kind of celebration Jackie should have.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
