Tiffani Thiessen and Brady Smith Celebrate Harper's First Birthday with a cake from The Solvang Bakery

Harper's First Birthday
featured in US Weekly with a cake from
The Solvang Bakery

Tiffani Theissen and Brady Smith planned a wonderful birthday celebration for their daughter, Harper's, First Birthday, with custom cupcakes and a special birthday cake just for Harper. The party was featured in the August 15th issue of US Weekly.

Excerpt from US Weekly:

"She's come a long way baby! When Thiessen and her husband, actor Brady Smith, 39, brought daughter Harper home from the hospital 13 months ago, 'we had no idea what we were doing,' says the actress, 37. 'We didn't even know how to get her to stop crying.' Her first call for help? Former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar -- and father of two -- Jason Priestley. 'Jason told us things would get easier,' says Thiessen. And they did --sort of. 'I've learned to live without a lot of sleep,' she says laughing. Harper it seems, shares the drive of her multitasking mom, who stars in USA's White Collar and co-runs baby furniture line PetitNest. 'Most kids start walking at about a year, but she was walking at 10 months,' raves Thiessen. 'She amazes me every day."
