Van’s first birthday fell on a momentous weekend: the Daytona 500.

Not only is that one of the premier Nascar races, but Van was born exactly 8 years after his parents met at that very race.

It’s not surprising that his first birthday theme was the checkered flag.

I put together this towering red velvet cake, with buttercream and black fondant checkers. So cool.

Of course, the vanilla smash cake matched…

And there were some cupcakes with red papers and black fondant stars atop swirls of buttercream.

We hope this first birthday party was special for Van and his family!
