It was this time last year that I introduced Mini Bite to the blogging world via an
In My Kitchen post. It seems appropriate to mark her first birthday in the same way now. I will not even attempt to summarise the learning, highs, low, development, milestones and laughter-to-tears that accompanies the first 12 months of a babies' life. Instead, I will share a few recent pictures and showcase her two birthday cakes - a fruit based tier for her, and a vegan chocolate cake for us.

What is happening in your kitchen this month?

ReplyDeleteooh that chocolate cake looks so nice. happy birthday to mini bite. the back of her head looks very cute. thanks for joining in this month. cheers Sherry
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sherry, and for hosting as always!
DeleteHappy birthday to Mini bite - i particularly love her kitchen cupboard though I am not sure I can see a saucepan and wooden spoon in there :-) Amazing to see how big she is getting and I love her birthday cakes
ReplyDeleteHa - you're right, my wooden spoons are too in demand to give to her and the saucepans too noisy and/or potentially heavy on little toes! One day ;)
DeleteKari, Mini Bite looks eager and curious and ready to run! That first year certainly does go by quickly. The birthday cake you made for her is a an entirely new definition of "fruit cake." What a great idea! Loved her cupboard, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. I think she would love to be running! She is almost walking and I suspect it won't be long before she takes off...
DeleteHappy birthday Mini Bite! Her fruit tier is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cakelaw :-)
DeleteHappy first birthday! I think both the cake and the fruit are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joey and I certainly enjoyed eating both ;)
DeleteBelated but still a very Happy birthday to Mini bite. thanks for giving us a peek of her. I adore her fruit Birthday cake, we need more cakes like that in our adult lives too.
ReplyDeleteI think so too :-) Thank you Shaheen.
DeleteBelated, but happy one year mama! It is amazing how quickly time flies. :)
