Smash Cake!

After her photo shoot and a much needed nap, Alice got to have her birthday cake.

It took a while for me to figure out what to make her for her cake.

I have been pretty careful about what she has eaten so far in her life.

She has mostly only had fruits, vegetables and grains.  No dairy other than goats milk yogurt.  Almost no sugar and no processed foods.

So I wanted to make sure her cake wouldn't be full of ingredients she hadn't had yet and give her a tummy ache.

And I wanted it to be blueberry since she loves blueberries.

So I made a cake I found online where you take a container of organic frozen greek blueberry yogurt and mix it with flour and baking soda and bake it.

It was super easy and tasted kinda like a blueberry muffin.

The frosting I made was coconut milk whipped cream.

Also super easy and tasty.

The first taste.

I think she likes it.

Still going at it all dainty like.

Then she started smacking it.

Both hands in.

Face in.

Foot in.

 "I have conquered you cake!"

Then she sat back down to finish demolishing the cake.  She actually ate very little of it, which didn't surprise me.  I figured she would mostly play with it.  It is called a "smash" cake after all.

Sharing with mama.

All that was left.

Then we threw her in the kiddie pool to get cleaned up.

After that she got to open her birthday presents which had been arriving in the mail all week and we had pilled up in her room.

Lots of fun toys, books and cute clothes.  (Thanks everyone!)

And that was Alice's first birthday.
