Cake - anything special?

If you are serving cake for your LO's first birthday - what are you making? A special one for LO and a regular one for everyone else or just giving LO some of a regular cake. I was thinking of doing carrot cake, what about you?

    I am making him a vanilla cake with buttercream icing.  He will have his own double layer 6" cake.  Our guests will have homemade chocolate and/or vanilla cupcakes with buttercream icing.  YUM!

    I'm not making, but buying.  Plus my sister is the head baker in Safeway so that helps.  We are doing cupcakes for everyone - that way I don't have to do cake cutting and serve.  DD will get her own little 4" or 6" smash cake.  Her birthday is ladybugs so the cupcakes will just have some red and black sprinkles. Her cake will have some ladybugs with lots of frosting ;)

     I will probably do a double layer cake with bananas and coconut milk whipped cream with "Cloud" frosting that I am going to attempt to use a little bit of different colored food coloring to make it look tie dyed. I may make LO a small version of the same thing, but I don't really know yer.

    I went to Meijer and they made a cupcake cake with a Cars theme topper. They kept one of the cakes out and wrote on the tray Happy 1st( the 1st was the cupcake)birthday Lucas. So he got his own special cupcake without a thousand layers of icing on it.

    I had a sheet cake made at Albertsons for my DS's 1st birthday with his picture on it and for 1st birthdays they make a smaller round "smash" cake for free.

    I'm making her a carrot cake w/ yogurt/vanilla frosting.

    I'm kind of "that" mom.

    This is the exact recipe I have bookmarked. I plan on making it a giant cupcake for him and I don't know what I'm going to do for everyone else yet.

    Oooh Scout, this is awesome. I was just starting to think about making a healthier cake. I'm kind of lame like that.

    Whatever. She got a bite of sesame chicken last night so it's not like I'm depriving her of her worldly experiences.

    I figure since the frosting has butter and sugar in it, it's a fair compromise. 

    Also, now I really want some sesame chicken. Mmmmm.

    Me too!

    Same here! DD is getting organic carrot cake.

    I know I'm in the weird on this one but I honestly can't see giving her chocolate any time in the near future. I'm not a big fan of it - I hate chocolate cake - so the thought her eating it disgusts me.

    If you're making LO their own cake, it could still be carrot. You could do something else for everyone else.
