Baseball Party

Little Boy's favorite toy when he was a baby was an orange plastic baseball bat. We sent out baseball shaped invitations that said "Hot dogs, cake, games and fun. Our little slugger's turning one." We had 1st birthday sports tableware and ballpark food: hot dogs, chips and pop. I used the same ball pan from Big Boy's 1st birthday and made a baseball smash cake. He tried to pick up the whole cake to eat it! I made a baseball field cake for the rest of us. I crushed up vanilla wafers for the infield and used Bliss white chocolates for the bases. The rest of the family wore baseball shirts and we decorated with baseball cutouts and a 1st birthday banner. Nothing too big, but definitely memorable.
