Any tasty recipes for a sugar free baby birthday cake?

[hanstands]

help, I'm not a great chef but would like to make a cake that babies and adults can eat that is also pretty healthy and looks good too...I bet there's some great Mum/Dad children's bakers out there who have some tried and tested ideas??Thanks!

I'm afraid I'd be no help, My kids have always eaten healthily with very little sweet stuff. But its a birthday! You've got to have sugar at a birthday, even if its dark brown.

Healthy cake - yuk! If you start serving any child free friend some healthy cake with no sugar they will think you have gone mad. I'm with Gubodge on this (tho I have sweet tooth). Give the littleun a small bit of cake or give them a rice cake and the adults something nice.

Sorry handstands doesn't answer your question, I was just putting in a good word for delicious sugary cake!

Bananas, a cake without sugar would have to be bananas!

you could use honey - but not sure if that is what you are aiming for?

thanks for your help and suggestions...cake is for a party where there will be quite a few Mums who aren't giving their babies sugar yet [to hold it off as long as possible] so want to try include them in some kind of communal birthday cake eating...will be making a very sugary option too of course, yum, perhaps lots of red velvet cup cakes!
