The greenery mixed with kraft paper, natural wood tones and a hint of gold worked so nicely together. I printed out the photos in a square format and then cut squares in coordinating colors (green, black, and kraft paper) with my Silhouette, and clipped them to some twine. For this DIY Wild One First Birthday Party I created my own DIY naked cake and cupcakes with boxed cake, and made a DIY banner, cupcake toppers and cake topper with my Silhouette machine. This is how I set up the smash for his birthday, we used one of the cupcakes for the indoor photos and below is what I photographed outside with his big cake!

Wild One is a party I knew I wanted to throw for my little Arlo’s first birthday since they day he was born. I wanted something that captured his little wild personality and I liked the idea of the theme using the word “one” so I decided on a Wild One theme early on and let the planning begin. I decided not to frost them since I wanted them to coordinate with the naked woodland look I had created with the cake and cupcakes (and because I was very tired from all the other baking I had already done. I also enlarged one of the cupcake toppers and one of the crowns with my Silhouette to fit the size of the cake.I wanted to see the changes over the months in his cute chubby rolls, so I didn’t want to use a shirt to cover him up.
