1st Birthday Cakes – Cake Geek Magazine

In honour of little Prince George who is turning one this week, we’re featuring 1st birthday cakes today.

Above, we have two beautifully captivating 1st birthday cake designs – a very on-trend hot air balloon cake (image via Pinterest) and a charming garden party themed cake by Bake-A-Boo Cakes, NZ right.
