E-mail me; jessicadybsetter at gmail.com and I'll send the recipe. Did you want a recipe for the frosting as well? It is a very yummy cake. Didn't modify it at all to make the cupcakes, just baked for less time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-685316 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:13:36 +0000 MsMamaBear 685316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She had a pink lemonade cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-685261 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:22:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 685261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Monkula: Those cupcakes look great.

I wasn't so sure he'd be able to eat dairy, but it looks like we are in the clear! It will probably be vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-684145 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:24:39 +0000 Sammyfab 684145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a 2-tier cake for the party. The top tier was red velvet with cream cheese frosting and the bottom was vanilla with vanilla buttercream. His smash cake was vanilla.</p> <p>I thought I wanted to do something less sweet for my sugar fiend of a baby but he ended up not loving cake anyway! (Even though he goes nuts over any other baked good I make that has virtually no added sweetener) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-683986 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:21:40 +0000 autumnlove 683986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave her a vanilla cupcake.</p> <p>@Rubies: What a cute picture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-683965 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:14:56 +0000 Mrs. Twine 683965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made triple vanilla poundcake cupcakes with Italian miringue buttercream icing. She loved them so much that yesterday when I made muffins she loudly shouted, "cu-cake!" and wanted to eat them because they were in the same silicon liners.<br /> Oh-- and was going to mention that my oldest has a dye sensitivity and I found some great natural colorants from India Tree that I used to color the frosting. The color is subtle, and not what you would get/expect from artificial dye, but it is so nice to know it's natural and my oldest can actually eat it. </p> <p>[attach=3361/13/mkmvox.600x399.web2-2.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=3361/13/mkmvoz.600x399.web3-2.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-683880 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:48:35 +0000 lamariniere 683880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my usual banana bread recipe, made it into cupcakes, and added chocolate frosting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-682812 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:37:49 +0000 chopsuey 682812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For her first she had vanilla.<br /> 2nd birthday was chocolate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-682799 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:32:23 +0000 nikol 682799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we'll probably do carrot cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-682679 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:32:56 +0000 loveisstrange 682679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-682671 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:30:07 +0000 3littlebees 682671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

Unfortunately, LO HATES soy and only poked at her cake.

The icing was super sweet actually. We had little to work with and with the cake itself being sugar free I didn't feel as bad (it was 10x, water and palm oil as shortening. 10x has corn starch in it and the palm oil can be from coconut which he cannot have so there were two our problems...it did make for some nice pics though. Poor kid). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-682051 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:38:45 +0000 mediagirl 682051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on making a vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting.

You reminded me I wanted to do ruffles too! What kind of frosting did you make? In search of a healthy not sweet frosting for the smash cake!</p> <p>I'm going to make her and the guests the healthy chocolate bean cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-681975 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:11:25 +0000 runsyellowlites 681975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure I'm making her a vanilla bean cake.

For his birthday party after I made him a carrot "cake"...pureed carrots piped into a cupcake wrapper. ETA: the quinoa cake was vegan and about 5 ingredients so not the sweetest thing in the world lol.</p> <p>In a perfect world where we could have made whatever I probably would have done vanilla based and swapped out the sugar and butter for a fruit. </p> <p>Here is his smash cake:</p> <p>[attach=482/13/mkl5wf.600x448.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-681937 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:57:43 +0000 sandy 681937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did lots of different flavored cupcakes </p> <p>Chocolate<br /> Green tea<br /> Almond<br /> Vanilla<br /> And red velvet </p> <p>LO had a vanilla one herself and loved it :) </p> [attach=429/13/mkl5s8.600x448.image.jpg] [attach=429/13/mkl5sb.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=429/13/mkl5sd.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=429/13/mkl5sf.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-681927 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:56:13 +0000 littlek 681927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing vanilla cake for his smash cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cake-flavour-did-your-lo-have-for-hisher-1st-birthday#post-681867 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:41:27 +0000 Freckles 681867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am thinking of doing a banana cake with cream cheese frosting.
