1st Birthday Cake Ideas

Birthday cakes are the highlight of a 1st birthday party. Most often a 1st birthday party is celebrated with only family and friends. Therefore, two cakes are perfect for this occasion. The first cake is the traditional 1st birthday cake and is often very small (about the size of saucer). This birthday cake is often decorated with light icing and simply says, “Happy 1st Birthday,” and is given to the birthday boy or girl. The second cake is made for the rest of the guests and will be fully decorated with, “Happy 1st Birthday,” and the child’s name.

The 1st birthday party theme, along with the 1st birthday cake and party supplies are perfect for this celebration. The 1st birthday party supplies should be very decorative as well as bright and colorful. Therefore making decorating for your 1st birthday party very easy and a great deal of fun.

Many people enjoy watching the one year old enjoy the 1st birthday party cake. This birthday cake should be a simple white cake that is lightly iced. In addition to the cake, the 1st birthday party supplies and other party items should be related to the theme. This can be accomplished by having 1st birthday tableware, streamers, paper plates, cups and 1st birthday napkins. These items, in addition to the birthday cake will make the party complete.

1st Birthday Party Music Play Lists

A baby’s first birthday can be exciting and really fun for the parents when music is incorporated. Decorating the room with brightly colored party supplies entices the baby’s eyes. Music can entice their motor skills and language skills.

After the cake and presents are done have everyone gather around in a circle with their children. Start out with a simple song like Patty Cake. If your baby can roll their arms by themselves encourage them to do it, if not do it for them. Have fun with this song, and encourage your baby to move. This is one of the best songs for motor skills.

After Patty Cake start singing Old McDonald had a farm. Make sure that you baby is facing you while singing this song. Watching the movement of your mouth while the sound comes out is how children learn to talk. When you get to each animal make the animal noise and try to act like the animal in front of your child. This will encourage them to mock you, and will make them laugh.

A few other songs that can be incorporated include: You Are My Sunshine, Are You Sleeping, and If Your Happy And You Know It. This is crucial learning time for a baby, so make sure to encourage all of the parents to use their hand and faces as much as they can to encourage their children to mock them. It will be fun for the parents and the babies.
