I need to get going with a cake order for K's first birthday. We have about 20 adults and 10 kids (ages 3-6 mostly) coming. I have the finger foods figured out, but was not sure about cake. Are cupcakes best for kids? Will cake work just as well? Or I could do both- cupcakes for kids and LO and a smaller K for adults. What's worked for you mama's who are done with parties already?

We are doing cupcakes and cookies for many reasons 1.) they were cheaper 2.) I don't have to worry about cutting the cake 3.) if there are any leftover its easier to get people to take one home or if I take them home I won't have a massive cake box with a 1/3 of a cake in it.

This, especially number 3. I don't want to keep extra cupcakes because I would be forced to eat them!

We just did cupcakes since those are easier. We didn't have the party at our house and just made more sense. The only reason we would do a cake is if I have in mind a very cute idea for the cake.

We did both. I had cupcakes for the kiddos and then a cake for the adults. Then eventually, some of the kids came back for cake .
I would say in the long run though that cupcakes are easier and less hassle for you.
Cupcakes
I didn't want to buy special cake plates and extra utencils. And I didn't want to have to cut cake. I want to enjoy this party as much as I can!
Ah... looks like there is 100% board agreement. :-)
Cupcakes it will be!
