What are you doing flavorwise? Banana or carrot? White or yellow? Frosting...something not so sugary? Decorations? Anyone else doing an elmo/sesame theme? TIA

    I'm probably doing a white cake with buttercream frosting. I am doing a ladybug theme, so I'm telling my cake lady to surprise me with something similar to the big cake.

    Chocolate cake with a vegan buttercream icing in a creamy color hopefully. Our theme is owls and paisley. I want to have a fondant tree with different color leaves on it.

    I'm doing a tiered cake so Violet will just have the top tier.

    I'm not sure about the flavor yet either but banana is a good one now that you mentioned it! I'm just not doing chocolate for sure just because ped said it can be hard on a babies stomach and I don't want to increase the risk of a tummy ache for the day.

    If you're worried about frosting being overly sweet you could make a mascarpone frosting... if you're alright with giving baby soft cheeses... ped said it was alright for my DD though

    Chocolate with buttercream icing

    No sugar hold backs over here!

    I'm just making a small cake with the same batter as the cake for everyone else (I pinned an article about using a soup can to cook the cake in.  Because I like shorter, fatter cakes instead of tall ones, I might use a tomato can instead).  So the smash cake will be cookies and cream with chocolate frosting.

    I'm doing white cake and a whipped icing.  I don't expect DS to actually eat any of it, since he is so not interested in anything not pureed.  He'll probably just play with it.

    I'm going to decorate it like a dinosaur.

    DD will have a yellow cake cupcake with pink buttercream for herself.

    The cake for the adults will be yellow cake, chocolate icing and a patch of green "grass" icing for a dinosaur to roam.

    I'm going to be doing a bunch of rainbow cupcakes, rather than a big cake and a smash cake.  I found this recipe for a "healthier" white cake that I'm going to try out this week to see how it turns out.  If it works, great, otherwise I'll just do a traditional white cake recipe.  And I'm going to do buttercream frosting, I think.

    The theme is pumpkins so I'm using two mini bundt pans to make a small pumpkin shaped cake with pale orange frosting. The cake will be white and the frosting my mom's butter recipe with 1/2 the powdered sugar.
