Did you let your baby have normal cake on their birthday?

For her birthday I made her a sugar free one with banana and she had that for breakfast and also through out the day as a snack. At her party I got a birthday cake for the adults and she had a little taste of mine just cause she was intrigued. I normally let her have a litttle taste Litrally a baby bite of home made treats but not really shop brought

My little boys technically not had his birthday yet but I’m planning to do home made banana bread on his birthday and at his birthday party (he’s allergic to dairy so couldn’t have normal cake anyway) and then getting him a dairy free sugary cake for his photo shoot for a cake smash

We bought mini cupcakes (the bight sized ones) so baby only had a fist full. Birthdays and Christmas are really the only time we let our kids have real desserts. The occasional biscuit sure (my older toddler LOVES jammie doggers and fruit shortbread) but otherwise it’s all natural fruit sugars. With my older toddler we do ice cream as she likes it better than cake.

We had a cake for the adults and I gave my baby a slice. As expected she threw it on the floor. She doesn’t like chocolate or really sweet things. She scoffed the banana I gave her straight after - weird child 😂

Yes but with my first baby I would have never 😂 my October baby hardly ate any anyway, so the amount of sugar ingested is minimal

For my little girl, I layered banana baby pancakes on top of each other & used whipped double cream in between. Added fruit as decoration. I used a cutter, so the pancake slices were roughly the same size.
Great small smasher cake and not expensive at all. 😊

I'm planning to do the same for my little boy at the end of the month 💚

Nothing wrong with a tiny bit and I like the rule (although this applies to adults) 80:20, so what we do most of the time matters, not what happens rarely. With baby I would say 90:10 👀👀😆 She had a bit of pistachio croassaint I bought as she absolutely crawled on me to get it and refused her baby pouch, but I wouldn't give her shop bought cake or bars etc. I don't mind sugar or salt in proper moderation, but when I know what's in it and it is homemade.

He had a tiny tiny piece of normal cake (vegan as he’s allergic to dairy) but it was genuinely so small most of it ended up dropped or mushed into his clothes 😂

We did a cake smash with a normal cake, then for her birthday party she had a few mouthfuls of her Costco cake and for her birthday tomorrow I’ll give her a slice!

It’s not as if she eats like that constantly so it doesn’t bother me!

she had a normal cake. She threw it on the floor 😂

I made my boy a banana and peanut butter cake and made it into a smash cake for pictures and cupcake for him to eat with a yogurt frosting. So no processed sugar

I'm having a cake made for my baby's birthday. She'll probably have a little taste of it as a one off because it's her birthday..she doesn't have sugar any other time so I don't see the harm in one taste of cake on her birthday! Then the rest of it will be for the adults.
Also, the way I see it. I will have kept a baby alive for a full year so I'm celebrating me too so I'm having cake! 🎉
