How Do You Make A Cake For A First Birthday?
A child only has one first birthday, and you will want to make that special with a cake. Your child will most likely not remember the cake when he gets older, but you are certain to have pictures of the cake you made for his party. He will appreciate that you took the time to bake a cake just for him for his first birthday. To decorate the cake, you could use store-bought cake toppers, but that will not be necessary since this cake is decorative in its shape: a giant number “1.” Since it is baked as individual cupcakes, serving the cake is simple, with no cutting involved. Flavors for the cake and icing can be adjusted to your personal tastes. This is a chocolate cake recipe that starts with a mix to save measuring and mixing time. The icing is made from scratch. Be sure to have plenty of towels on hand when you serve this cake to wipe off the chocolate-covered faces of your new 1-year-old and his friends. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the cupcake liners into the cupcake pan
