The little pizza chefs hard at work |
We ordered a gluten and dairy free cake for the event, because I never want my older son to feel left out in his own house. We order all our cakes from the same place, Brookelynn Bistro, a small bakery and bistro close to where we live. We've been eating there since our oldest son was still a baby, and the location went by a different name. The woman who runs it remains the same, and their food is absolutely incredible. The cakes are no exceptions.
The small uneven section at the front is our fault, not the baker's! |
We ordered a round, gluten and dairy free cake to serve 10. There were 13 people at the party, and even after feeding everyone I was left with almost half a cake. I sliced it into pieces and froze them separately so that my son will have cake to bring with him when he gets invited to events like birthday parties where there aren't any gluten free desserts.

The birthday boy made it through most of the party, but needed a little catnap near the end. It was great to have everyone over and celebrating with us. A 1st birthday party success!
Sweet children and a sweet post. Happy Birthday to your baby boy! What a great idea to slice the leftover cake and save it for your son when he goes to other parties that aren't GF. The kids always love making their own pizza's don't they. Such fun :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a lot of fun, and they loved making their own pizzas!
