What kind of cake can a 1 year old eat

Looking for an Naked cake or Woodlands party themed cake for that special First birthday cake smashing photoshoot?

Turning ONE year old is a special milestone and parents look for the perfect cake first baby birthday cake to celebrate. More recently, parents are hopping on to the trend of having a themed photoshoot and a smash cake to capture that precious memory.  

However what some might overlook would be the fact that many cakes offered by regular confectionery shop are not baby friendly, these babies may inevitably ingest some of that decadent treat prematurely and cause issues. Or even for young toddlers whom may ingest too much sugar to suffer from a sugar high later on. 

The World Health Organisation recommends that children under the age of two consume no or minimal sugar, hence parents should consider a baby smash cake or first birthday cake that are baby friendly and baby safe for their littles ones. 

For this, Delcie’s Desserts, an esteemed healthy baker and mum herself, Delcie ensures she ensures she uses high quality natural ingredients and keeps her bakes cane sugar free and vegan.

Hence, whatever your definition of a baby safe cake: no salt added, sugar-free, dairy-free, fruit-filled, nut free, egg free, honey free and chocolate free etc which can be harmful to the less developed digestive system of young babies, Delcie’s Desserts has you covered. 

Honey should not be fed to infants below the age of one year due to the risk of infant botulism, a rare but serious type of food poisoning caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. While adults and older children have a mature digestive system that can prevent the growth of this bacterium, infants below the age of one year have an immature digestive system that may not be able to prevent the growth of the bacteria. The spores in the honey can produce the botulinum toxin in an infant's immature digestive system, leading to constipation, weakness, and even respiratory failure.

This is why it is important to exclude honey from any baked goods that are intended for infants and young children. Even if the baked goods do not contain whole honey, it is important to check the ingredients list to ensure that there are no hidden sources of honey, such as honey-flavored syrups or sweeteners. To be safe, it is recommended to avoid giving babies any baked goods that are not specifically labeled as "baby-friendly" or "suitable for infants".
