I guess you can tell I’m a chocoholic too from the cake I chose to bake for the adults.

That was something I didn’t remember. I think my kids first birthday cakes were probably vanilla, maybe because of possible allergies but more likely because chocolate stains. Coming from a long line of ‘chocolaholics’ the possibilty of chocolate allergies would not have occurred to me. By the way I love the candle holder it is so cute and tghe little cake is darling.

Well, they say not to give babies any chocolate until they’re at least a year old due to possible allergies. As for the cake, it was loaded with chocolate (hence caffeine) and sugar, a lot more than a simple taste. I didn’t want Luigi overloaded on his first birthday. I didn’t appreciate anyone trying to slip him chocolate because it was obvious that I didn’t want him to have it and giving it to him would make him want it more. Fortunately, he absolutely loved his little carrot cake, so wasn’t interested in the chocolate, but I was imagining a crying fit after having a taste of chocolate and not being given any more.

Question, since my youngest is 20, and I don’t remember-what is wrong with giving a 1 year old chocolate.

Great job on the cakes. Luigi is a doll.

Thanks Rosemary. I can’t believe a whole year has gone by already! Did you recognize the Boomerang from the pictures?

Thanks Deborah. I have to admit, the cake was a lot bigger than I needed to make, but I was happy to have too much. I gave the rest away to friends and family. I wouldn’t feel to bad about not making a cake for Lizzy this year. There’s always next year.

The adults wanted to try the carrot cake too. Actually, I’m thinking of trying the recipe with some whole wheat flour and making breakfast muffins out of it. The yogurt and apricot preserves cake sounds good too. O keeps asking me what kind of cake I should make next.
