What kind of Birthday cake for 1 year old's party?

Question

Our baby girl will be celebrating her first birthday. I don't want to have a chocolate cake. I am looking for a healthy alternative. No nuts, there is an allergy.

Any suggestions?

Recipes?

Answer 1

albertson's has the best cakes

Answer 2

Make sure you do some color of cake so that when she gets it all over herself it's a big cute mess to get good "First Birthday Party" pictures.  I'm a photographer and a mom, so my opinion is based on getting good pictures.  =)

Make a jumbo cupcake like they sell in the supermarket.  I think strawberry cake would be good.  Then do regular cupcakes for your guests because they won't want that one after your girl is done with it, lol.

Answer 3

go to http://kraftfoods.com/kf

they have wonderful recipes!

to make it healthier you can use Splenda instead of regular sugar.

in a lot of the recipes at kraftfoods.com they use Cool Whip whipped topping, you can use low fat or sugar free Cool Whip.

you can use fruits.

you can make your own fruit filling using Splenda.

i hope this helps :]

good luck!

Answer 4

The best cake for a 1-year-old is...cupcakes! They are cute, can be decorated individually or together to make a larger cake and the child can destroy the whole thing, if she pleases.

Some bakeries now make birthday cakes completely out of cupcakes. Since some of the guests are likely to be children, you can't go wrong. If you have a Safeway food store in your area, ask to see their selection of cupcake cakes.

Congratulations, by the way. What a treat!

Answer 5

For my daughters 1st birthday, we made plain vanilla cake, with food coloring, in ice cream cones with frosting on top. They were really yummy. It was kind of like cupcakes but they looked very pretty.

Hehe, enjoy the young years, when she turns 12 , boy do they get moody!

Have fun, and happy birthday to your daughter!

Answer 6

what about anglefood with fresh berries for a topping?  that would be healthier than a regular cake and oh so yummy.

Answer 7

My daughter has 3 kids under 4-1/2, and always gets a special small cake for the birthday child to dive into on their first birthday:)  It makes for cute photos, and saves the other cake from disaster:)  I saw some really cute little cakes, decorated like big flowers, at Kroger's bakery the other day (about the size of 2-3 cupcakes), and you could specify what flavor you wanted.  I wouldn't worry about "healthy" just this one time, but you could always get a carrot or banana cake (without nuts).  They aren't going to eat enough of it to really matter anyways:)

Answer 8
