The boy turns one. A mother’s anxious post

So, next week is Country Bebe’s first birthday. I know, this year has flown by.

While we’re not throwing him a big party, there will be a few of his little friends, doting grandparents and general well-wishers dropping by and I thought I’d make a cake.

Cue a quick Pinterest search and some SERIOUS mother anxiety.

Thanks for that Martha.

Now I am in a total flap about what to make; I was thinking carrot cupcakes with a simple cream cheese frosting (courtesy of the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook) to try and keep the refined sugar/e numbers to a minimum (Country Bebe needs no assistance in the energy stakes).

I thought they’d be fun baked in these, stacked up in a big tower (we had a cupcake display at our wedding so I thought continuing the tradition would be cute!)

Then sprinkled with these pale blue stars:

Pretty straight forward, right?

As all my baking is done at 10pm after bedtime, dinner, paperwork, blogging… simple is best.

I’ll post some snaps of CB and his cupcakes next week!
