Just a simple vanilla cake:<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/07/10/diy-smash-cake/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/07/10/diy-smash-cake/</a></p> <p>There's also this one: <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/29/diy-healthy-smash-cake/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/29/diy-healthy-smash-cake/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1106161 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:10:14 +0000 blackbird 1106161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That apple cake sounds really good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1106150 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:06:34 +0000 mrskc 1106150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm going to do a pumpkin cake and pumpkin cupcakes along with vanilla cupcakes. Not sure if I want DS's cake to be pumpkin or vanilla or maybe both (one layer of each). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1106106 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:47:29 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1106106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has an egg, dairy, and gluten allergy, so it was tough! But I found this recipe and it tasted pretty good. I tried both, but ended up making the lemon cake for her birthday.</p> <p><a href="http://www.sweetlittlebluebird.com/2013/03/tried-true-tuesday-crazy-cake-no-eggs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sweetlittlebluebird.com/2013/03/tried-true-tuesday-crazy-cake-no-eggs.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1106061 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:24:04 +0000 hilsy85 1106061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oscarthegoon: thanks for sharing! I like the idea of having a large blank surface to decorate (I think I want to do the outline of a 1 in sprinkles!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1106053 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:21:19 +0000 oscarthegoon 1106053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did an apple cake with tons of diced apples in it and adjusted the recipe to use half whole wheat flour. I baked it in big rectangular pan (9x14?) and frosted it in white icing. My LO loved it and so did the rest of the guests. And the large white surface was perfect for decorating. He's three and a half now and I've made the same cake for every birthday. (Truth be told, I don't usually bake cakes, so since it works so well, I just stick with what I know!) Decorated with owls for 1st birthday, cars for 2nd, and James the red train from Thomas the Tank Engine for the 3rd. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1105953 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:49:29 +0000 hilsy85 1105953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: oh the recipe she has for that cake is for like 50 people (!). I only need it to feed 10 adults and like 5 kids, so I would be like quartering it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1105863 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:22:25 +0000 looch 1105863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think any kind of "bread" is good, like banana bread or even the whole wheat apple muffins from Smitten Kitchen.</p> <p>The only thing that would trip me up is the amount of batter and the size of the pan (if you want to do round layers?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-for-los-first-birthday-cake#post-1105838 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:15:59 +0000 hilsy85 1105838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you made LO's first birthday cake, what recipe/kind of cake did you do? I'm thinking of doing an apple spice cake (recipe from smitten kitchen) but am looking for other kid friendly ideas! I don't think I want to do anything super chocolate-y.... </p>
