It’s so important to provide healthy alternatives for your child’s 1st birthday cake.  Most parents today try to avoid preservatives and high sugar content birthday cakes.  They really want their babies to be introduced to healthy living recipes and food.

One of many items that modern parents are looking for these days are egg free birthday cake ideas that still maintain the traditional quality and great taste that everyone will enjoy at your baby’s first birthday party.

There are so many choices for egg substitutes that are safe and tasty.  If your baby hasn’t had the opportunity to try egg products yet, then this is another reason not to introduce them to this food family at their 1st birthday party.  You can purchase many egg substitute products in the Vegan section of your local grocery store.

There’s no need to go to a lot of extra work, you just need to be creative and understand the significance of certain ingredients so that you can decide when to substitute certain fillings.  You shouldn’t be too hard on yourself since most of your guests will think the taste of your 1st birthday cake is great.

Besides, what is the main purpose for your child’s 1st birthday cake.  The photo opportunity and the chance to create a lifetime memory! Your guests won’t remember how the cake tasted tomorrow, but everyone will remember the photo that you email to them with icing smeared all over your beautiful baby’s face.

There are lots of healthy flavors to choose from, including banana, apricot, cherry, and watermelon.  Don’t worry, these flavors are all based on healthy fruit alternatives that have much less sugar.  You can make these great tasting birthday cakes in traditional layer cake style, or extra large cupcakes for each of your guests.

Now, you absolutely HAVE to have loads of frosting on the birthday cake so that your little one can cover themselves for the photo.  Just make sure you substitute low sugar whipped cream for any recipes that call for high sugar content butter cream.  You can make your own whipped cream in minutes with minimal sugar added.
