Well we did a frog cake for our son's first b-day. But this year we ordered a cupcake cake from the local bakery. It was so great. There was 24 cupcakes put side by side and they frosted the whole thing like one big cake. It was so easy to serve the guests and really a one year old wouldn't eat more than a cupcakes worth of cake.
GO TO KRAFTFOODS.COM I FOUND THE CUTEST CAKES THERE,THERE WAS ONE SHAPED LIKE A TRAIN
I made "dirt" cake, which is pudding with crushed oreo cookies. I purchased a tonka dump truck and lined the back with plastic wrap. Filled the dump truck with the cake. My son loved it and after he was able to have the truck as another present.
choose a little kids cartoon character like thomas the trank or something and put it in the shape of the character.
I would make it simple and not chocolate....vanilla cake with a light frosting. The birthday guests are going to be paying more attention to the cake than your son. Whipped cream frostings are great, and you can add a side of strawberries. My son had a piece of cake on his first bday and it was all hands and smeared icing! We added a large "1" candle and just kept kept it simple. Its really a celebration for the Mom that gave birth! Rejoice!
I had baked a '1' shaped cake, using 1 square cake (cut into bars for the base and the other tip) and 1 rectangular cake(for the main body), topped with almond and vanilla icing.
I used icing gel tubes to scribble the happy birthday and name message. Other decorations included were tiny marzipan dolls and candy flowers along with m & ms.
Hope this helps. Beat of luck.
Ice cream cake from a local ice cream shop.
I'd get an ice cream cake for summer. If you live near a Cold Stone Creamery, you should order a ice cream cake ahead of time. They are excellent and you can choose from a variety of flavors and characters.
Have a GREAT birthday!
cup cakes, you can set the cup cakes into a square to look like a cake frost over the entire top. decorate, then the cup cakes are easly pulled apart, no plates, this helps save on the enviroment, not so many paper plates to throw away.
