A "Little Blue Truck" July 4th Greeting from the Cupcake Stylist

As we celebrate our nation's independence today, I wish you a very Happy 4th of July!

There is nothing more American than apple pie, baseball...and little blue trucks.

Okay, so maybe I added that last one myself, but I grew up with a BIG blue truck -- a 1956 Chevy Pickup to be exact.  It belonged to my Grandpa, who passed it down to my Dad.  It is still in our family and everytime I see it, I can easily get caught up in memories of times past.

Well today I want to share a bit about a LITTLE blue truck and the fabulous party that Jillian from Earning Our Stripes blog planned for her son Anthony's 2nd Birthday Celebration.  She based the party on the book "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Schertle.

To ensure that Jillian's cake complemented the theme, she started with a little blue truck that she found online, then added the set of 5 fondant farm animals offered in my Cupcake Stylist shop on Etsy and website.

Jillian then made it her own by requesting a custom frog topper to complete the set.

Then she put it all together for an absolutely adorable "Little Blue Truck" Cake!
