Healthier Options

[Darlene]

My son's first birthday is coming up next month.
I don't want to get a cake because of how much sugar cake has.

Does anyone have any ideas for something that's a bit healthier but still fun for a baby?

Happy birthday to son of Darlene.
Look for a healthy carrot cake recipe?

My girlfriend told me they had a sugar-free cake and a regular cake and the sugar-free was better.

Spinach souffle

banana bread.....in "cake" form

or, I agree with the carrot cake option.....those are good

Cheese. Most kids love cheese pizza.. My daughter does a lot low sugar and sugarless baked goods that are really good.

I'm looking into things that are also gluten free.

Sorry, I'm not like most parents who don't mind their kids getting tons of sugar in one setting.
Cake and the like are one of the reasons that America has one of the highest obesity rates across the globe.
I bet there are plenty of other options that are just as fun as cake but not so unhealthy.

He's a chunky baby but I wouldn't consider him obese, although obesity does run on his dad's side. That's one of the reasons I want to avoid sugar as much as possible. It is completely possible to get addicted to sugar.

That isn't any healthier hun.

Ok I understand.

Then do as Moonglow suggests and feed him a spinach suffle!

Happy birthday to your son. Get a cake, take some pictures, get rid of the cake and give your child the healthy choice you wish. At one year old your child will not be the wiser, after all he has never had cake to begin with.
