what's a good cake to give my son on his 1 year birthday?

Should it be sugar free? Should it be like a carrot cake or something along that lines? Or can I just let him tear into a regular 'ol cake? I don't want to give him something that may make him sick. Can he have chocolate?

  1. Let him rip into a real cake. He will play more then eat.
  2. my son ate a butter cream cake with vanilla don't let him eat too much, I let him tear it up
  3. your baby can have anything you want him/her to have. I would avoid nuts due to choking and allergy reasons.

    For my daughters 1st birthday we got her a big cake from Costco with a princess and a castle on the icing. She stuck her face in it, priceless. She really only ate the icing. It was great.
  4. just give him normal cake, that's what birthdays are about. quit being over protective.
  5. You can give whatever kind of cake you'd like. Sure he can have chocolate. He's not going to eat very much anyway he's only 1. Just let him tear into a regular ol cake! :o)
  6. they have small cakes you could give him we gave my granddaughter one on her first birthday she had fun but she sure was messy just give it to him and get the camera
  7. He's not gonna remember or care, so just get what you want, and what will look nice in pictures. The cake is more for your memory of the event, not his. Any kind of cake in small portions is fine.
  8. give him a lite a cake and a small amount
  9. give him a chocolate cake, And dont worry most of it will go on him not in him. Always entertaining .
  10. IF YOU GET UR REGULAR CAKE AT WAL MART THEY WILL GIVE YOU A SMALL 4X4 CAKE SINCE IT IS HIS 1ST BIRTHDAY I GAVE THAT TO MY DAUGHTER AND LET HER HAVE AT IT. IT IS HIS 1ST BIRTHDAY SUGAR WILL NOT KILL HIM. ALOT OF FATTY FOODS WILL BUT YOU ARE NOT THAT KIND OF MOTHER .... IF YOU ARE ASKING A QUESTION LIKE THIS
  11. Well, the decorations on the cake are really up to the parents. The baby won't care either way... he'll just tear into it and get it all over himself.

    I'd be careful with carrot cake, as some of them do have nuts and that's a choke hazard. I also wouldn't suggest something completely chocolate, as that can be very rich and can upset anyone's stomach, not just a baby's.

    Go with vanilla, yellow, or marble... something that will be easier on his system. And do yourself a favor... put trash bags or something on the floor, and have the baby wipes ready when he gets ready to tear into it. You'll have icing EVERYWHERE!
  12. gotta go for the real cake

    just don't let him eat a ton if it
  13. Any cake will work. FYI....If you have a Wal-mart near you and buy the bigger cake from them they will give you a "1st cake" for the baby for free
  14. What I did was give my son a chocolate iced cupcake. The pictures were really cute since you could see what a mess he made! I wouldn't give your child the entire cake, just a small cupcake would be fine. That way, there is much less waste, and other kids love to eat cupcakes!
  15. My son loved homemade carrot cake! So much so that I made one for him yearly. Even his preschool buddies enjoyed a carrot sheet cake I made for his 4th birthday, and you know how little ones can be!
