baby's first birthday (and CTTS)
"Karen G" wrote in message ... So I asked my 3 and 4.5 year old what we should do for our little boy's first birthday coming up. Big surprise: they think he would love a "princess birthday". In fact, while we were at Wal-mart last weekend, they told me that "it would be lovely." A passerby got a chuckle out of it. In the meantime, I still have to get a birthday cake for this little guy. After 4 years of picking flowers, princesses, balloons, Pooh, and even Mickey Mouse; I am at wits end to come up with something for a boy that isn't from a blockbuster movie or commercial television show. Usually, I try to get something different, so there isn't much overlap between themes. Middle child is a Pooh fan all the way. She's had Pooh cakes for multiple years. Oldest child has had all sorts of things. We also have to decide on cake format--baked style or ice cream. Suggestions? While I am at it, what are the recommendations on party foods for 1 year-olds these days? He's had eggs, cheese, and dairy. He hasn't had chocolate or peanut butter yet. The middle child gave him a strawberry a few months ago--it didn't settle well, but didn't cause any problems. Well......I was going to suggest my DS' favorite birthday cake but your DS hasn't had chocolate yet........but let me just share it for future reference. Chocolate cake, chocolate icing with gummy worms strategically placed on the surface to suggest worms crawling in mud. Very big hit with the boys. Didn't taste bad either, although I donated my worm to DS. "Course, this year I don't get any cake at all [low carb diet] so I will just have to drool! -Aula |

She's had Pooh My son and grandsons really like, and have liked from the git-go planes and automobiles. Trains too, but they aren't at all common around here, so not so much. You can do really cute sheet cakes pretty easily with those themes. Or possibly, if that doesn't suit, non-trademarked animals like dogs or elephants or horses. cakes for multiple years. Oldest child has had all sorts of things. We also have to decide on cake format--baked style or ice cream. Suggestions? We've always given a one year old one cupcake (baked) with one candle on it and let them have at it to eat or wear as desired. I think ice cream will do for later or for the other guests.

Other than the cupcake, at our 1yo parties, the food was for the other participants and not the birthday child. grandma Rosalie |
