Smash Cake suggestions?

[legomyago]

My bean is going to be one in less than two weeks! She still will only eat purees and has a hard time with any type of chunks (lumpy mashed potatoes are okay, but the stage 3 mac and cheese caused her to cough a couple of weeks ago). Maybe I need to try more foods again, but I'm trying to figure out what might be a nice treat for her for her birthday. I'm thinking ice cream cake or even pudding in a cup with a candle stuck in it? Any suggestions from this group?

Happy almost birthday to your LO! I feel like you could still do a standard cake if you are going for the smash effect. She could just play with it and lick frosting and it could still be a fun picture. But if you want something she can eat, pudding would be good. I'd probably avoid ice cream because I know that would freak my LO out just because it's so cold!

Whip cream pie? Very easy to eat! Lol

No advice on cake but happy almost birthday to her!!

Update: After trying stage 3 foods with little bits in them with DD again, she seemed to do fine. So standard cake it was! She mostly did smashing and smearing and only took a bite or two herself, relying on me to feed her any more that she wanted. Success!

That is awesome!
