So one of the happiest moments in the life of parents has come - the baby is 1 year old. More recently, my mother wore it in her tummy, wrapped it in a diaper and was proud of the first aha. And now he is a birthday boy and his mother has new worries.

What kind of cake to make for your birthday. After all, it is necessary to observe traditions (to please guests, to blow out a candle, a desire to make a wish) and to please a baby.

We all know that children at this age should not eat purchased cakes, chocolate and other goodies are undesirable, so you can use this option. Buy big elegant beautiful cake  for guests.

Or bake it yourself, for example this:

Let the adults enjoy, because they also came for their birthday.

And for the baby, and possibly the same little guests, make a cake with your own hands. Recipes will not take much time, mom and so much trouble.

The first cake recipe for a child for 1 year:

The recipe is very simple. As a test - any baby cookies  (400 gr).

Instead of cream - cottage cheese (250 gr.), Whipped with sour cream (150 gr.) And sugar (0.5 cups).

We spread the cookies soaked in milk on the dish in one layer, top with cottage cheese.

And so a few layers. Between layers and for decoration, you can add fruits, such as bananas.


On top of the cake we decorate with crumbs from cookies, finely chopped apples and candied fruits. If desired, put a candle. This cake is suitable for both girls and boys for 1 year.

And here is another recipe, which is also probably suitable.

The second version of the cake recipe for a child for 1 year:

You will need one glass (250 ml) of flour and sugar, 4 eggs.

Separate the yolks from the proteins. Grind the yolks with half the norm of sugar and add the sifted flour to them.

With a mixer, knock down the proteins, slowly add sugar. When the whites have whipped into a steep foam, carefully enter into the yolk mixture with flour.

The resulting mass is poured onto a greased form and sent to the oven, which was previously heated to 180 degrees. Forget about the biscuit for 20-30 minutes. It is strictly forbidden to open the door! Otherwise, the cake will settle.

Finished cake gently cut lengthwise into two parts. The filling can be any. You can beat the whites with sugar and fruit. You can just soak the cake fruit syrup, grease or yogurt, garnish with fruit. In our case, the cake is saturated with sour cream, which is prepared as follows:

300 gr beat sour cream with a glass of sugar and introduce a pre-prepared gelling mixture of agar-agar (1 cup). Or gelatin. After 20 minutes, the mass will begin to thicken.

Spread this cream between the cakes and on top. Until sour cream  still not completely frozen to decorate the cake with peach slices (or any other fruit). Sprinkle the sides with cookie crumbs. Put the cake in a cold place for several hours. (2-3 hours will be enough). Or you can put it in the refrigerator for the night.



  The cake is ready for 1 year! The most important thing is for the baby to be safe. Only you know what fruits the birthday man does not have and whether chocolate and other temptations are possible for him. Try not to introduce new products on this day. Let the menu be familiar to him. This day should be remembered as a joyful event and you do not need colic.
