I knew you guys would be full of bright ideas! And I've also checked out Baalamb's thread which is great too

I know she doesn't need anything fancy (I definately wouldn't be able to create anything as clever as Janine!) but I do want to make something myself for her even if it does turn out crap! And she probably won't eat any anyway (she is only just starting out with finger foods and still eating mush most of the time!!)

Anna thanks for offering to help! We are having her party in Auckland at my parents though so I'll be making the cake up there I think!]]> Sat, 19 May 2007 09:15:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7612&PID=147554&title=1st-birthday-cake-ideas-please#147554 <![CDATA[1st birthday cake ideas please! : hehe...cool! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7612&PID=147485&title=1st-birthday-cake-ideas-please#147485 Author: Brenna

How about a butterfly shaped cake (you could buy sponge cakes from the supermarket then just cut and make into shape) then use pebbles to make bright patterns for the wings

You can get cake tins for hire at BJ's Cake decor and Five Cross Roads Cake Kitchen in Hamilton and not very expensive either. But if you're not a confident cake bake/decorator maybe ask a friend/aunty/mum to help or check out what the local supermarket bakery can do. I wouldn't think you need to be too flash for little kids anyways?]]> Fri, 18 May 2007 12:44:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7612&PID=147168&title=1st-birthday-cake-ideas-please#147168 <![CDATA[1st birthday cake ideas please! : heres maddys one i got the cake...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7612&PID=147155&title=1st-birthday-cake-ideas-please#147155 Author: EllenMumof2

How about cupcakes packed in a shape of a one? That way each kiddy or adult can have their own cake. Then you can make a bit of a smaller cake just for bubs to dive in. ]]> Fri, 18 May 2007 10:49:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7612&PID=147124&title=1st-birthday-cake-ideas-please#147124 <![CDATA[1st birthday cake ideas please! : I had a teddy bears picnic theme...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7612&PID=147117&title=1st-birthday-cake-ideas-please#147117 Author: Peace

I have no idea what section to post this in!! Anyway, it is Ashleigh's first birthday in a month and I'm trying to decide what kind of cake to make her. I am not very creative at all though. SO I thought maybe you could show me a pic of your kids 1st birthday cakes and I was also wondering if anyone could recommend anywhere to hire cake tins in either Waikato or southish Auckland.
