The One-Year-Old
My present to Cora is her birthday cake. I followed a recipe from a parenting magazine, for first-birthday-cakes that are healthier but also yummy. This is an applesauce cake with apricot jam in between the layers, and a buttercream frosting for the adult cake. I also made petit fours, one of which will be decorated Saturday with a "1" candle for the birthday girl.

While I cleaned up from my LONG day in the kitchen, Cora played and pretended to drink from an empty canister.
