CAUTION- Smashcake

We haven't given our LO sweets and I was very excited to make his birthday cake. I went all out and made an awesome chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I mean come on, go big or go home. Yes he enjoyed it, see photo below. But.... he was up ALL NIGHT LONG, wide awake, smiling, laughing, playing. I never thought about all the caffeine in the cocoa I was using. #momfail
Re: CAUTION- Smashcake
Gotta say though, your LO is SOOO cute with frosting smeared all over!!
Now, the smash cake we used for our photo shoot yesterday was a different story: Funfetti cake, but regular frosting with lots of sugar. Yup, that kid absolutely refused to fall asleep for his afternoon nap and after an hour of just playing in his crib, we gave up! He was wide awake the rest of the day until bedtime, then just crashed and slept hard! So, moral of the story, if you're going to give them sugar, do it early afternoon so it doesn't affect bedtime! Lol.
The photos make it so worth it though
